artistic interior large room central location

the room was artistic with a large space! the shower was great. the central location allowed convenient walks around the area. i spent three nights there and found it had more tapas places than i could visit.

The underfloor heating was on full blast and had no individual room control. It was unbearable.

The super nice team! They provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants. My room had a balcony. It faced the street, and I enjoyed watching the lively atmosphere below!

The breakfast required a visit to the neighboring hotel. This needed dressing to go out. The ground floor has a tapas restaurant and it was quite loud!
