Mediocre stay, some issues observed

decent varietyextra chargeshort time
The breakfast selection met my expectations, with a decent variety of options.
The spa required an extra charge of €15 for 50 minutes. This was unexpected. 50 minutes is a REALLY short time for the spa. The indoor pool is actually just a jacuzzi. You cannot swim in it.

a romantic getaway!

rooftop barcomplimentary cavaextra charge
We stayed during a festival, semana grande, and it was very nice! watching the firework show from the rooftop bar every night was magical, especially with the complimentary cava. the hotel pool overlooks the entire city. Our children adored it, and i relaxed with them for hours between our daily adventures.
the spa required an extra charge of €15 for 50 minutes. the time felt measly, and everything cost extra, like €3 for flip flops. we also found no complimentary water in the room.

The spa access incurred an additional charge. i found this unexpected considering the room rate. the indoor pool is small. It is more of a jacuzzi than a pool where one can swim. also, i found that the room lacked complimentary water.
