Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite a hit or miss, depending on the view you got. However, the jacuzzi and walk-in bathroom were nice additions. The location was a bit secluded, not ideal for those wanting easy access to town. The dining options were limited, and the cafeteria service could use some improvement. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities offered were satisfactory.
The hotel offers rooms with mountain views, all necessary facilities, but unfortunately lacks any captivating views. The walk-in bathroom adds convenience to the stay. The service excels in all areas with prompt room service, thorough housekeeping, and even laundry assistance. The location is not very close to the city center or Camino path, slightly distant from the town center and cafeteria. The dining options are limited to porridge. The facilities are satisfactory, providing the basics for a comfortable stay.
