Check-in disastrous, read the reviews
Check-in disastrous. 1:30 to get the rooms. Very unpleasant staff, contemptuous and not acknowledging their mistakes. Speaks neither English nor French, only Spanish. We should have read the reviews about the welcome.

Poor reception
The manager of the hotel eventually moved but was particularly obnoxious.

lamentable
Speak only Spanish. The link to register was not sent. The person in charge is abhorrent. No excuses for this malfunction, she even allows herself open mockery.
The online booking writes breakfast included but in the morning it is no longer. Careful, establishment to avoid.

Rude "service" and room mix up
First of all, they do a good job of letting the customer know they do not have a 24 hour desk. But in reality they hardly have anyone available in the hotel. During our 2 day stay I only saw someone twice, on our second day in the afternoon and in the morning of our departure.
The challenge with this stay was a room mix up. Normally I book the superior double rooms which have a nice view and spa tub. I needed 2 rooms and when I originally booked only one was available. So I booked one superior double room and anther standard room. However I kept checking to see if a superior room opened up and two weeks prior to the trip I was happy to see that one had so I cancelled the standard room and booked a separate reservation for the superior double room so we'd have two superior double rooms.
We arrived at the hotel and no one was at reception but we easily entered using the provided codes. When we got to the rooms we discovered only one was a superior and the other was a standard. I quickly went downstairs and no one was available. I called the number provided on the front door for service but no one answered. I called again and explained to the person that there had been a mix up and we had reservations for 2 superior double rooms. She immediately replied that I had cancelled the superior room and reserved a standard. I had hard copies of my reservations and also checked online at Booking.com. Both showed that I had 2 superior rooms reserved. I also contacted Booking.com and they confirmed this. I tried to explain this to the hotel representative on the phone but they insisted that I was wrong and they did not have any remaining superior double rooms (it is a small hotel). There was no one at reception the rest of the day to show my documentation. The next afternoon someone was at the reception desk. I showed her the hard copies along with my phone and Booking.com. She continued to insist that I was wrong even though I had the documentation. I said that I would never be returning and her response was "good".
I understand the room was not available and there was no way for me to have the superior room. However the hotel should have at least acknowledged their mistake instead of pointing the blame at the customer. In their response to my review on Booking.com they acknowledged their error. That would have made a huge difference when I was there.
If you want rude to non existent service this is a good choice. Otherwise I'd recommend the Parador for excellent service or the Apartments Ducay for clean, nice and good value accomodations.
