My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, with some highlights and drawbacks to note. The rooms were spacious and had some fun features like colorful lights, although the lack of cabinets or drawers was a downside. The strong bleach and pee smell was off-putting, with worn-out furnishings, but the toilet issue might explain it. The service was excellent, with a friendly and helpful staff offering great recommendations and assistance. The location was fantastic, surrounded by lovely tapas bars and close to attractions, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was good, offering a decent selection despite some basic options. Facilities were adequate, offering what I needed during my stay.
