El personal de recepción muy amable. El desayuno básico pero con suficiente variedad (aunque siempre es lo mismo).
They should solve the ant problem they have, very uncomfortable to have ants in the kitchen area. The fire alarm sounded every few minutes, neither the guests nor the staff reacted, very serious. If you want to go to the beach (especially if you go with children) it is best to take the car.
Deberían solucionar el problema de hormigas que tienen, muy incómodo tener hormigas en la zona de la cocina. Sonaba la alarma de incendios cada dos por tres, ni los huéspedes ni el personal reaccionaban, muy grave. Si quieres ir a la playa (sobre todo si vas con niños) lo mejor es coger el coche.

Los empleados eran simpáticos y agradables la verdad. Lo mejor del hotel
It has been given a facelift, but.... It is where christ lost his slipper, with no services beyond the train station.
Le han hecho un lavado de cara, pero... Está donde cristo perdió la zapatilla, sin servicios más allá de la estación de tren

Bastante bien en cuanto a equipamiento. Todo limpio y decente. Cama y almohadas cómodas.
At night there is a noise that does not stop sounding, water loading or something like that. The walls are thin and if the neighbors happen to be annoying you can hear everything.
Por la noche hay un ruido que no para de sonar, de carga de agua o algo así. Las paredes son finas y si da la casualidad que los vecinos son molestos se oye todo.

Calidad - precio inmejorable. Con cercanías al lado para moverte a Malaga o cualquier pueblo de la costa.
They were supposed to clean the rooms 3 days after check in but we stayed 4 nights and they didn't clean anything. We had to use the same towels for 5 days.
Se suponía que limpiaban las habitaciones a los 3 días de entrar pero estuvimos 4 noches y no limpiaron nada. Tuvimos que estar usando las mismas toallas los 5 días.
