What a great gem we found!! A very nice boutique chic hotel. The decor was amazing and fit will with the Spanish history. Definitely not just a static hotel room. Our view from our terrace was amazing. You could open your door and hear the church bells and the bustle of the shops below Very clean and the staff was very attentive. I would 100% recommend

The staff was great and the building is very cool, but the room was not very functional. There was literally no place to put your clothes other than 10 hangers right above the mini fridge. No table, not one drawer anywhere. There was no bathroom door either so we had to listen to one another’s toilet time. And, we were charged an extra $42 (on top of $50 city tax) that we don’t know what it was for and the hotel has not responded to two emails. The location was great, but there are other choices and unless they refund our $42 we won’t be back.
