Located at the downtown area
-
The property was located in walking distance of everything! We walked to the famous Guadi house and several churches. Shopping was all around us. The room was comfortable. It’s titled B&B and there was no breakfast but coffee and tea was on the common area for all. It was hard to locate because in Spain the hotels and B&B are just floors of building nothing that stands out like a Hyatt or Holiday Inn signage. If you want to get there early don’t bother and there is no where to store luggage until check in. I suggest you text well in advance to ask questions or to possibly schedule something special with the owner. She was not there when the time said for reception and you wait in a hallway until she arrives.

Fabulous location within walking distance of main attractions. Our room was very clean with a comfy big bed and a room safe. Complimentary coffee, tea and water was a bonus. Nice kitchen facilities where you could eat and relax. The host Tatiana was very welcoming. We were able to leave our suitcases on day of departure. The air conditioning wasn’t as cool as we are use to.

Room was not prepared and ready. Complimentary breakfast did not exist and nobody entered the room to clean or change the towels. Lovely lady who runs it but no idea of what it takes to run a quality B & B. Book somewhere else. All of the above

Very clean. Friendly owner, when she eventually arrived. No one on reception until 3pm. No one answering my phone calls. My room nit ready until 7pm when I had let them know I would be there at 3pm. Breakfast not provided despite calling itself Bed and Breakfast and promising a complimentary breakfast.

The place was good located. The Owner was very arrogant. When we arrived about 13:00, she ignored us. She was on the phone with her boyfriend about 15 minutes and we had to wait for her. We wanted to leave our bags there and she was telling us just that the check in is at 15:00. Then she said something was wrong with the booking, so she wanted to see my e-mails from booking.com. She was very unfriendly and we spend about 30 minutes there just to leave our bags. I would never go to that place again and don't recommend it to anybody

Location is very good and the hotel is very well presented. Quite difficult to find as it is located inside a large building but it is a beautiful and very clean accommodation. WiFi kept cutting out.

Great location No air con first night had to sleep with the window open. Very noisy. No milk for tea/coffee. No spare toilet roll.

Shower space.

I emailed the owner of this property what time I would arrive. When I arrived on time she was nowhere to be seen. I called but she didn't answer any of my calls to any of her numbers. I saw another guest there who claimed that he barely ever saw her and had experienced similar problems. After waiting for hours, I left a note and left for another hotel. The owner of the property refuses to reimburse me or even communicate with me. To make matters worse, I can tell she is purposefully ignoring me and trying to stop me from submitting this. This is a tourist SCAM. This should not be allowed to be listed as a three-star hotel since there is often no one at the front desk. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Location was top-notch. The place was clean and the restroom was nearly as big as the bedroom and had its own balcony. The host’s attitude was terrible, we arrived at 13:45, and kept buzzing the bell but no one would answer, tried calling and messaging the host and she wouldn’t respond. We had to wait outside until other tenants (whom have also experienced the same situation as us) came and let us in. We then left our luggage inside and went out to eat only to come back to find the room wasn’t ready nor cleaned and it took the host more than an hour and a half to clean. And we only got into our rooms at 18:30. This is all happened even though the host’s message clearly stated “RECEPTION HOURS: from 12:00 to 19:00 CHECK IN : from 15:00 to 19:00.”

Check in time was disregarded. I told the property I would arrive between 2-3pm and I had to wait outside 30 minutes until a stranger let me in the building. I then waited outside the hotel even though the owner knew I was outside. The owner does not start cleaning your room until you arrive or after. I had to wait 3 hours before I could access my room. Even though this is a bed and breakfast, there is no option for a breakfast. I found this misleading as its called Bed and Breakfast. Your room is not serviced at any time so take this into account if you are staying more than a day or two. The owner is not reachable by phone or message and there is a sign that says reception is there from 12-7, however this is not true. If you run out of any toiletries you will need to buy more yourself. My bathroom ceiling was leaking around the electrical the second day I was there. I left a note for the owner since I could not reach her any other way and it was completely disregarded. Booking.com took part in this as it promotes only the positive comments and provides high rateings however if you read the comments in the last year most are bad.

I was mislead by the star rating on booking.com, it turns out that when there is new management the ratings don't get reset. We arrived on 2nd June at 2:30pm. We were within the recommended check in time. We had to wait 10 minutes before the receptionist answered the buzzer to let us in. We also tried ringing the phone and no one picked up. We had to wait until 8:30pm before we could enter our room. There is no breakfast service even though the name of the place states that. Our room was never cleaned during our stay, we never got clean towels and had to ask for toilet paper when we ran out. On one of the days of our stay I had to let another guest into the place because his room card no longer worked and no one was answering the phone and no one was in reception area. Stay away, it was a horrible experience and the manager there was very rude from the first night we arrived as we patiently waited for our room to be ready without any apology for the delay.
