Worth weighing

  • Some distance from the center — The hotel is about a 25-minute walk from San Vicente Church and the old town, which may not suit those wanting to be in the heart of the action.
  • Limited on-site parking — Only public parking is available nearby, which could be inconvenient for guests arriving by car.
  • No pets allowed — Travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel does not permit pets.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — If you're arriving very late, the check-in window (until 23:59) may require planning ahead.
