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.

7.8Verified guest“Central location with plenty of affordable dining nearby, and the staff were friendly throughout.”
7.8Verified guest“The staff and facilities were good.”
7.8Verified guest“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.”
7.8Verified guest“I stayed here four years ago and was pleased to see it has maintained its standards. Good-sized room, lovely courtyard, good breakfast, and helpful staff. Rooms were immaculately clean.”
7.8Verified guest“The whole hotel is decorated very nicely, each room uniquely styled. For the price, it was great value.”
