Stayed for a weekend in July for my hen party. Pros: Good value for money Clean Big rooms Great Old Town location Air-conditioning - not usually found in a 3* in Spain Cons Receptionist was not very friendly. Wouldn't check us in without our expedia booking confirmation, even though I could see my name on his computer screen! Not enough... more

It is a good budget hotel, perfect for hen parties or stag parties, the rooms were clean, and you had it cleaned every day with fresh towels etc. The breakfast... more

WE CHECKED OUT!!!!! We were 3 girls traveling through Spain. Our room overlooked downtown "Beruit" also. I am hysterical at the other reviewer who said the same thing we kept saying.
