"Special mention goes to quietness - 2nd floor facing street busy with partiers on Saturday night. and with window closed you are in completely different world."

"Nice receptionists , especially Sal, and I had a good deal that included daily spa access (which, while nice, was rather small and consisted of a steam room and a Jacuzzi with good massage water jets, for weary Camino legs & backs, and a gin & tonic- otherwise it's 37Eur/hr or 55Eur/couple."
