Pros:

The location is good.

Cons:

Two things... A/C was not cooling, and given the high temperatures this days, sleeping was poor. Drinking water... they only give you a bottle for the first night, afterwards, nothing. I'm happy we didn't run out of toilet paper, It would have been bad if I had to go and buy the next roll myself.

Pros:

The location is pretty good, very close to El Sardinero beach and also close to some restaurants and cafes. If you have a seaview room the view is very beautiful. The breakfast was very nice with a large variety of meals. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. If in need of a parking place, there are parking places nearby, both paid or free.

Cons:

The windows are not good enough and even though I had a room with street view at the third floor I heard a lot of noise from outside.

Also, from inside there was a lot of noise from the other rooms. I was able to hear the TV from the next room.

It wasn’t like a nightmare with such a lot of noise, but it would have been more comfortable to have more noise cancellation.

caro
Pros:

Ubicación excelente e instalaciones modernas. Personal muy amable y servicial.

Cons:

Mala relación calidad-precio. La habitación es muy pequeña, no hay ni un solo cajón para guardar la ropa (apenas media balda en el armario y media docena de perchas), por lo que si vas más de tres días es incomodísimo. Al llegar teníamos una silla y un sillón para sentarnos, pero el segundo día nos quitaron el sillón si avisar ni dar más explicaciones, a pesar de haber solicitado que lo repusieran. El horario de limpieza de habitación es caótico. En general parece como si fuera un hotel recién inaugurado y falto de cierta organización y orden. La experiencia no es acorde con el precio.

No sé puede considerar un hotel de cuatro estrellas
Pros:

La proximidad a la playa

Cons:

El hotel necesita bastante reforma, el primer día solicité cambio de habitación y la segunda noche me la cambiaron.
Las duchas tienen los bordes negros y la limpieza deja bastante que desear.
No cuidan los detalles (cuando se acaban los productos..
El colchón muy blando
