“What struck me about this hotel is its position on Via Espana, ideal for those keen on city malls, a quick taxi ride away. It seems like a practical choice, balancing central location with the essentials: clean, functional rooms and helpful staff. The all-female bartenders and waitresses in the bar-restaurant add a nice touch, and the food portions sound generous.”
