Hotel La Milagrosa

“Boutique hotel? Not!”

Attractive old building in convenient old-town location, close to marina, castle & many good bars/restaurants. However the hotel itself was poorly modernised in parts & the s/c apartment we had on 5th floor was quite inadequate for self-catering. For this standard of hotel, the bathroom was a big disappointment: poor water pressure; slippery shower floor; bathroom door only opened half-way - which cut the already small room in half; hairdryer inconveniently screwed to wall - as in a budget hotel; inadequate/inaccessible ventilation. The rest of apartment was OK but a bit ‘tired’ in places. The large terrace had NO SHADE & NO PRIVACY from noisy rooftop bar above. The kitchen/dining/terrace areas would have been spacious enough to cook/eat comfortably, but the many cupboards were empty, with minimal equipment provided; just enough IKEA stuff to prepare a simple breakfast - with not even a chopping board, salad bowl or a pair of kitchen scissors! No way to wash anything up - sink had no bung or bowl, no tablets for dishwasher (which also said it lacked rinse aid). Kettle & coffee pod machine provided but no supplies - unlike the Occidentale (where we stayed just before, in an ordinary room). Freezer had no ice cube tray & needed defrosting so badly that its drawers would barely open. Greasy-looking/smelling tea towel. Bed comfortable, plenty of clothes storage, but the laundered sheet still had someone else's long black hair on it. During our stay there was a lot of intrusive daytime building noise eg loud & frequent buzzers in the street below In short: a very poorly equipped s/c apartment, with no view. Rooftop bar had good views - of the castle & of our terrace!

Booked a premium apartment last minute due to a flight cancellation. Positives..great location, friendly & helpful staff. Well equipped, clean spacious apartment within walking distance to main attractions and close to many shops, restaurants and bars. Very short walk to promenade and beach. Negatives.. ground floor of apartment felt a little like a dungeon, although the space was great the only window had metal shutters on and was right on to steps at the back of the building.The ground floor also had a really bad sewer/damp odour and there were lots of flies. The TV and WiFi would not work downstairs but was great in the upstairs bedroom Overall fine for a couple of nights and could be fantastic with a little better designing and some tlc.
