    Great location, close to the beach, bars and restaurant (but a bit far form the city center). Good prices, and pet friendly hotel (with dog treats waiting for us in the room). Free parking in the street right in front (if you can find a spot).

    Loved the location away from the city centre, but only 10/15 minutes in a taxi from the airport. Right beside the beach. Huge double bed, very comfy. Great high powered shower. City center is about 10 minutes in a taxi, city is very built up, so we enjoyed the hotels location away from the noise. Not many restaurants/cafes but more than enough for a short break. Be prepared to speak a little Spanish, as most of the restaurants do not have English menus. Food and drinks only 5 minutes walk. Supermarket 2 minutes walk away.

    The view of the room was a big roof of other building. The room was low under 3 stars but the bed was clean and comfortable enought for one night. The location is pretty good, not far from the city centre.
