The room was pretty small: the two twin beds had no space separating them. We had a small TV, a private safe, a desk and a cupboard with hangers. It was clean and although the hotel doesn't have air conditioning, with the window opened we got fresh air and we never felt embarrassed by the heat.
(If you need a hairdryer, bring your own - when I e-mailed the hotel to ask if they provided them, they said yes, but when we got there we were told they didn't have hairdryers.)
The lift is very small and takes some time to come and pick you up - we were on the second floor so we only used the lift the first day to carry our luggage upstairs.
The reception staff was very polite, friendly and never seemed annoyed by our questions. They spoke English, as opposed to the restaurant staff, who didn't seem to.
Speaking of which: the continental breakfast consisted in café con leche, orange juice, magdalenas valencianas (some sort of small cakes), ham, bread, jam, cheese and crescents. We went one night for dinner and tried the paella for two, which was very good, although three or four persons could easily have shared it: they were huge portions.
Finally, the location is perfect if you plan on visiting on foot: we didn't take the metro, or the bus or a taxi at all. However, there are various bus stops and metro stations all around. The hotel is a few blocks away from Puerta del Sol, and next to a small plaza, the downside of which being that it does get pretty noisy at night, so you might wanna bring earplugs. As for me, except for the first few nights when we heard a lot of cars honking, I slept perfectly well without earplugs.
