Great hotel in a good location, literally 2 mins from the nearest metro station. Bars, shops, cafes and restaurants nearby, enough choice for most people. Warmly greeted on arrival, given a good recommendation for lunch just down the road, restaurant 217. Check in simple and straightforward, the hotel takes €100 as a deposit for breakages etc but it's returned to you on checkout, also there's the tourist tax, we paid just over €33 for 3 nights. Breakfast room is small but breakfast is good, mostly continental so don't expect a fry up. Fresh produce and coffee decent enough. Staff are friendly and helpful and can answer your questions about the area and the metro/places to visit. Room for us was small, pictures online are a bit deceiving, however room was very clean, shower was ok, bed and pillows comfy. Also there's a fridge and air conditioning, which we definitely needed! Hotel provided 2 bottles of water in the fridge for the first day. Wardrobe space is small, no drawers so storage was lacking. Room cleaned every day, fresh towels on request. Our room looked onto the main street so would recommend ear plugs if you can use them, mostly traffic noise but also building work going on at the fountain next to the metro station. We enjoyed our stay here, perfectly situated for visiting the sights, everywhere is roughly 20-30 minutes away by metro, recommend getting a day pass for €12 per person, otherwise it's €2.50 for a single ticket. Would definitely return and definitely recommend, thank you to the lovely reception team
