A two star hotel with a four star soul
The hotel:
don’t let discourage you by a quite anonymous entrance hall, this hotel is a very nice place to spend some days in Zaragoza. The hotel has been recently renovated and everything is spotless and new.
Location:
it is located less than 100mt from the Church of Pilar, in the historic centre. The street is reserved to the residents and cars pass just occasionally. If you have your car with you, you must park it in the hotel garage, unless it would be very hard (say impossible) to find a parking downtown.
Rooms:
rooms aren’t very large, however they are fine decorated. Mine (n° 409) had a wooden pavement (finally no carpets!), a writing table, a built-in wardrobe and a LCD tv. The bathroom wasn’t very big too but it s new, it had a bath tub but no bidet (as everywhere in Spain)!
Unique Quality: The good:
it may sound as a flattery, however I found a lot of good things in this little hotel, beside the rooms, I found a very rich breakfast, with sausages and eggs and so on to satisfy Anglo-Saxon clients and home made cakes for Mediterranean clients (like my husband and me). The staff is friendly and always ready to help, giving you information about things to see, where to shop or to eat. They have an internet connection in the hall at price of 1€ per hour.
The bad:
yes there is a little spot in this immaculate picture: they have no rooms for non smoking people, so when you enter in the room, if you have a sensitive nose, you’ll surely feel a light odour of smoke, however keeping the window open for a while eliminates this problem. I must advise you that in Zaragoza it will be very hard (say impossible) to find restaurants for non smokers, because even in the non smoking areas they allow clients to light a cigarette as an end to the meal.
Price:
Quite low, taking into account the quality of the service. (average of € 65 for a double room, breakfast included).
Score:
I would advise this hotel for business and leisure travels.
