  I don’t normally leave review but this place it terrible. Paper thin walls, uncomfortable beds and tv remote with rusty batteries so all you have keeping you awake is everyone snoring in the rooms around you to listen too, brutal!

  I probably encountered the famous receptionist that is rude and highly unprofessional. He shouted at me and my guest. Long story short he forbid me to have an occasional guest even if registered with proper ID. He wouldn't give me his name, so I will call him the short, stocky receptionist with the unkept beard. He wouldn't give me the name of his manager or the an email or a phone number. I asked for company policy on visitors in the hotel and he simply said "You are not allowed to have visitors, not even with proper ID". He physically came at me when I challenged him. He kept saying that there was no company policy, just he said no visitors. Highly unprofessional, no customers skill at all, aggressive, dismissive, probably racist. Good luck if you are a solo traveller and you encounter him. Disgraceful how someone with such hunger issues is the ambassador of the Hotel reputation.

  Very thin walls you can hear every footstep. Rude guy at the front desk, kindly asked him to speak english, kept shouting passive aggressively at us in spanish. Very important: this hotel does not offer parking, contrary to what they have advertised, they will send you to a public (and rather shady) parking 500m from where the hotel is. Not coming here again.

  Very nice stay. The staff was very friendly and nice to everyone. The room was clean and cosy. The sea was near, the city centre too.

  The room was quite small but very clean and nice. It was great that we could leave our luggage after checking out for free! We really enjoyed the stay.
