“The staff made my stay very pleasant. It was a well-appointed and extremely comfortable hotel in a fantastic area, right next to takeaway places and bars. My nice-sized, brand-new room came with toiletries, a large bathroom, and nice views. The staff were very professional, and the central location was a plus. I ate at the nearby tapas restaurant. The pool was clean, and I enjoyed hot drinks at the outdoor bar.”
