A good idea

Very nice hotel in the old town, perfectly located in order to see the main sites in medieval Girona. The breakfast was a treat and the management was very charming and assisted when necessary. This was an extremely comfortable stay in a town with wonderful character.

This is an amazing property. It was my second time staying there and it will definitely be the place I stay every time I visit family in Madrid. It’s a clean hotel, safe area, fun area with lots to do in the area. It’s also between two metro stations (Sol and Opera), and the breakfast is pretty great! Great price for central Madrid!!

Our room faced the street, and the noise was unbearable. People walked up and down the street all night; the hotel was located on the most famous street in the center of Madrid. The service was good.
