Decent Location, Noticeable Issues
cramped roombroken door
The room felt quite cramped. My Quadruple Room lacked character. Though I was on the top floor, the small window near the ceiling barely let any light in. This. the bathroom door wouldn't close properly, so that was annoying.
I found a beautiful exterior at this hotel. The staff worked tirelessly. The location provided convenient access to many places.
The breakfast room felt small. Getting food was a challenge. Navigating among all the people proved difficult.

The hotel sits in front of a beautiful square. It is near Gran Via and Castellana. The location makes it easy to get around. The area felt very convenient.
