Central location with a good breakfast spread
Pros:

The breakfast spread was comprehensive. There was a section with cooked items, a section with cereals, yoghurts, nuts, dried fruit and seeds, another section with various types of breads and filled rolls. There was a seperate cooking section making omlettes to order and cava was on offer too.

Cons:

The space between the end of the bed and desk was too tight, so much so that the fridge door did not open fully. A sliding door for the bathroom might be better as the existing door knocked onto the toilet. Some rooms had bidets, some did not.
