Strategic location between multiple cultural landmarks and gardens

Cons

“Pension Rivera's proximity to Atocha station proves ideal for travelers arriving late or departing early, and I think the surrounding area has a decent selection of coffee shops. While some rooms face the street and experience noise during rush hour, the location remains a key benefit. The basic accommodations meet budget needs, though some may find the rooms quite spartan.”
