Fuentiduena de Tajo Holidays from £291

This could easily have been five-star, but it's the classic "devil in small details" issue: 1. Pronounced street noise at night from people passing buy and other activities. I think noise-rated windows could mitigate this issue. 2. "Zero" level apartment has windows on eye level of the passers by, i.e. to get privacy you need fully draw blinds even during the day (no daylight). One-way reflective windows would mitigate that, too. I'm sure higher level apartments don't suffer this particular problem. 3. Shower mount impossible to hold in one position, making it most frustrating experience. The shower head was flying and dismounting when you just looked at it wrong. I suggest a new fully fixed shower head for "rain" experience. 4. No cutting board (?) and no drying rack for laundry (what's the point of a washer if you have to scramble to hang the wet laundry?). I know these are small things, but become a problem when you want to cut something or make laundry. 5. Request for the cutting board sent to given Whatsapp number was met with a generic message "we're open 10-18 on weekdays and whatever on weekdays (it was 10:10 Friday) and no follow up after that. After this I gave up reporting anything else. I really wanted to like this place, as everything looked great at first and the meeting host was nice and helpful. However, the issues described above spoiled it to the point I can only say it was just ok. Not terrible, but not outstanding, either.

NOT THE NICEST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. NO air conditioning with a room at 80F; with the windows open. That is not what is expected of a 4 star hotel. Staff said that other guests said they were cold. Well all they had to do was turn off their thermostats. Why shutdown the A/C for everyone else. We’re on the top floor with the sun on the windows all day heating up the room. We had to sleep with the windows open and listen to garbage trucks at midnight and street cleaning machines even later. More of a hostal than a 4star hotel experience. Staff was NOT helpful at all. Nothing they could do and that all the fans that they had been lent out already. So, if there are so many clients that need A/C why not turn it on. It’s one of the hotel’s amenities without any word anywhere there it is a seasonal amenity. Nor is it expected.
