7.6Verified guest“Excellent location, very convenient for visiting the Picasso Museum on foot. The bed in my room was satisfying.”
7.6Verified guest“The hotel sits on a lovely, quiet side street very close to the centre. Friendly staff, and though the room was small, it had a large bed and was spotless.”
7.6Verified guest“Metro and buses are just around the corner, and the beach is at most a 10-minute ride. Rooms are compact but functional, with a comfortable bed. Daily cleaning and towel changes. Staff were very friendly, and having breakfast next door didn't bother us. Great if you only need a place to sleep.”
