Great hotel, spacious room nicely styled. With bathroom etc being at angles it is quite tricky to navigate in the dark if need to during the night. Spa is a nice feature to have in a city centre location. Staff extremely helpful and friendly would stay again.

From beautiful beaches and fascinating cultural landmarks to lively bars serving a wide variety of pintxos and exceptional restaurants, it’s a place that effortlessly combines relaxation, entertainment, and gastronomy.

Modern, very clean, well maintained hotel with excellent staff and good facilities (spa was a nice extra included in the price). Only minor criticism was functionality of the room - not enought space for hanging clothes and not enough sockets (can't use the hairdryer in front of a mirror and can't plug in the kettle anywhere convenient).

I absolutely loved everything about this fantastic hotel!! The staff was amazing, the location perfect, one of the best breakfast buffets I've had and my room was really nice. I loved the roof deck for having a glass of wine and star gazing. I didn't take advantage of the spa but I heard nothing rave reviews from other guests. The staff was so great....got me a taxi in minutes every time I asked. I would stay here again and again. Thanks everyone for a wonderful visit!!
