We booked a family room and we were pleased to find it was two separate rooms, excellent for noisy kids. Check-in was quick and painless, checkout the same. The hotel is located 15 minutes walk from Salamanca markets, and about 10 minutes from the centre of the city. Parking is only $15 per night but you can park on the street 6pm-8am or on the weekends for free, which we did as were only there Friday night.

Comfortable stay

Clean, spacious room. Breakfast not so good. Also the Bistro was closed for 2 of our 3 night stay so we had to look elsewhere for our evening meal. We had an early morning trip so were given a "breakfast box" instead of breakfast. This was not very good and could be vastly improved. Parking was good, safe and secure. Staff on reception very helpful

There is a night club near buy and if you are there on a Fri/Sat night the music is incredibly loud. The in room facilities were basic, for example the tv only had free to air channels. I won’t stay here again.
