Acceptable stay, but issues with the room size

The front desk staff proved helpful .

The bed squeaked loudly with every movement (I didn't sleep well). I expected a bit more space for what I paid.

a few minor issues

key attractions easy access temperature regulator ineffective air

The hotel's location proved advantageous, offering easy access to key attractions in the area.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning was INEFFECTIVE. I was told it was only a temperature regulator, not genuine air conditioning, DISAPPOINTING. This meant I had to choose between a stuffy room or leaving the window open, which didn't feel very secure (sarcasm intended).

I found the location unbeatable! it's right in the middle of everything. the staff were kind and helpful to me. the breakfast food was tasty and plentiful. I loved starting my day here. plus, my room was surprisingly quiet, allowing me to sleep soundly even in such a central location.

The elevator was quite small. It only fit two people at most. this wasn't a huge deal, but it's worth knowing.

short walk family room

The location was really good for sightseeing. Plaza Mayor and Chocolateria San Gines were just a short walk. Our quadruple room included a queen bed and bunk beds. This setup worked well for our family of four.

The room I stayed in faced the interior and lacked much natural light. This, even with the lights on.

The location was fantastic. I really liked the bathroom. It was new and very clean. The hotel was very close to two metro stops (Opera and Sol).

The hotel stated that it had air conditioning and heating (according to services available). It was only a temperature regulator or heating. I had to leave the window open if i wanted it colder.
