The staffs are friendly and helpful. I arrived to the city earlier than checkin time by a couple hours. They let me check in early after confirming the room is ready. The hotel is clean and bright and comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were extremely helpful and very nice. The hotel listing incorrectly states that laundry service is onsite. This is not true. I struggled to get laundry done offsite since you compete for laundry service from local apartment dwellers and those walking the Camino to Santiago. The room was very sparse - not hand moisturizer (the soap was very drying), conditioner, or waste basket in the room. There were no decent places to eat nearby, and those close were small, smoky bars with limited menus.

The room was very clean and very well-maintained. The common areas also were clean and quiet. The location was very convenient to transportation.

Clean but basic rooms.

The hotel room was very basic & worn decor. Mattress was quite hard & for those doing extended travelling, there was no mini fridge. Our room had French doors but you looked onto a wall, however it was nice you could get some fresh air. Be aware that the walk to the Cathedral & old town was some distance away. Parking was easy with the use of a Parking Station nearby.

We booked through Expedia and may have got the worst room! Other reviews we read were good. Hotel is very short walk to train station and historical centre. Customer service at check-in was exceptional pity could say the same for the room we got. It was small, there was water damage to wall between bathroom and bedroom, paper thin walls and in great need of an upgrade No amenities and wifi didn't work. Unless you have a very early train to catch find another hotel or make sure you get what you see.

A solid choice

Overall, very nice, great service at the front desk, nice location, clean rooms, if I was to criticize one thing, it would be the matresses. They weren't the worst ever but I expected a little nicer, still slept fine.
