“This hotel strikes me as a place of contrasts: a grand historical facade gives way to interiors that some find impersonal. Its location on Sardinero Beach is undeniable, yet some past guests felt the service didn't always match the setting. For some, the value equation didn't quite balance, especially considering the additional costs that could arise.”

Excellent Stay with BEACH Access!
convenient locationvery good servicebeautiful hotelgorgeous room
I found the location convenient due to the bus service access. The physical connection to the seafront was also a huge plus. I experienced very good service throughout my stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooms are GORGEOUS!!!
The pillows were too saggy for my comfort. The chair and loveseat also showed signs of wear. I missed having a full-length mirror in the room.
