Highly Recommend

The greatest asset is the staff. They were endlessly helpful to me in working out all sorts of issues, especially about train travel in Spain. One negative for me: the sharply sloping ceilings in my room are hazardous to a tall person. I hit my head hard several times during my stay. Next time I would like a different style of room if they are available.

This hotel is in a fantastic location across from the beach and is near some very good pintxos bars. It's also only a very short walk from the Palico de Magdelana, and its a very pleasant walk into town.
