This was my favorite hotel during my stay in Spain. I traveled between Barcelona, Cordova, Granada, and Madrid. And in all of my travels, this was my favorite hotel. The hotel staff was kind. The food was amazing — I had the best hummus in my life in this hotel. In addition, the amenities were amazing, for example, the spa area was spectacular. And its proximity to the city, the beach, and the airport were huge pluses. I highly encourage anyone to visit this hotel during their stay in Spain.

Very good location, close to the airport and very clean. The room was comfortable and well-maintained. The only thing that surprised me was that bottled water (even still water) was not complimentary and had to be paid for – it would have been a nice touch to include at least one bottle per guest.

Can’t comment on what’s around the property, as we use this as stopover hotel, usually arriving very late and leaving sharp the next morning, but what we do see and experience is always very good.

Great for a stop before an early flight

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is less than 10 minutes from the airport which is why we booked it. The unfortunate thing for us was that the hotel shuttle wasn't running the morning that we required it so the taxi cost us 18 euros. The rooms are fine but we found the beds a little uncomfortable and the pillows not of good quality at all. The mini bar is a nice idea. The shower is very good but within the main bedroom without privacy.... fine if travelling with a partner. The separate toilet is OK with an opaque glass door. There is a nice bar area and restaurant in the hotel offering a menu del dia, snacks and other meals. We didn't use the spa as only there for one night prior to flying. We went along the road to eat. There are tapas bars, a great Turkish restaurant, ice cream parlour, bars and a well stocked supermarket within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. For what we needed...a hotel near the airport..... this was OK.

Recommend

One night stopover close to the airport with a 12noon checkout. Lovely place in pristine condition and friendly attentive staff . Good food at the snack bar. Great value for money. If I were to nit-pick…….no drink making facility in the room which pushes you towards the mini bar and the very comfortable beds spoilt by the mattress protector which seemed to have been made from crisp packets. Great hotel though, would recommend.

The staff were wonderful from check in to check out. The servers in both the café and the restaurant were helpful and efficient. The food was sensational. My only regret is i wish there had been a coffee machone in the room because we had to leave before the Café opened. But i would always choose this hotel if Im in the area.
