Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Comfort can be hit or miss — The comfort rating is lower than other categories, and one guest reported a non-functional air conditioner in a triple room (though they were moved to a suite).
  • Limited facilities — Facilities score is lower, and the hotel is basic – no pool or extensive amenities, though it covers essentials.
  • No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel does not accept them.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is available between 15:00 and 23:59, so arriving outside these hours may be inconvenient.
  • Parking is not on-site — While parking is available opposite the hotel, it's not a private hotel car park, and demand may vary.

“The staff and facilities were good.”

“I booked a double room and the location was fantastic – just a short walk from the Roman Temple.”

7.8Verified guest

“Close to the Mezquita in the old city and within walking distance of the new city. It took us 10–15 minutes to walk to the centre. Being so close to the Mezquita made it easy to get back after the sound and light show. The staff were very nice and friendly, though not all spoke English. The air conditioning in our triple room wasn't working, so they moved us to a suite for the rest of our stay – very kind of them.”
