Gran Hotel España

“Great place...but!”

Excellent location, ultra clean and super efficient, friendly and helpful staff. Good sized room too...although the central heating was far too hot...and this was in December!

Excellent location, ultra clean and super efficient, friendly and helpful staff. Good sized room too...although the central heating was far too hot...and this was in December! The only thing that would make consider staying somewhere else next time was that throughout our stay there was an continuous awful smell (toilets/drains?) emanating from the lower ground floor which managed to pervade the hotel stairwell right up to the third floor! No explanation was offered for this by the staff? Inside the room it was ok but we abandoned using the lift as the small was worse there! Very strange indeed!

“No sleep”

This hotel is very well located but because of the location we got no sleep because of the noise. It was Saturday night so maybe that didn’t help.

This hotel is very well located but because of the location we got no sleep because of the noise. It was Saturday night so maybe that didn’t help. There was no working air conditioning and it was very hot in the room but too noisy outside to sleep with the windows open. There was no safe or kettle in the room. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was over the bath . Breakfast was buffet style. No boiling water for tea but enough food choices. There are steps to be negotiated with luggage and very small lifts.

Recently stayed here for a few days. Location is fantastic as it is only a few minutes walk to the old town. However, if travelling by train/bus, it’s about 15 mins walk (with luggage). I appreciate and am grateful that they let us check in early (before midday). My room key card didn’t work the next day so had to get it renewed daily which was a pain (not with my travel companions key card who had a different room though!). There were a few steps into hotel reception and a few steps again to get elevator access- I think they should really have a ramp. Room is otherwise clean but a little dated. I don’t like that the hair dryer was attached to the bathroom wall and put in a corner where it’s difficult to access as the bathroom is fairly compact. Otherwise overall a pleasant stay.

“Not a 4 star hotel”

Not really sure how they are working out the star system in Spain but this isn't 4* standard. It's an old hotel and in the room the door fell off the the mini bar, shower squirts all over the bathroom, toilet constantly flushes.

Not really sure how they are working out the star system in Spain but this isn't 4* standard. It's an old hotel and in the room the door fell off the the mini bar, shower squirts all over the bathroom, toilet constantly flushes. I contacted the hotel in advance to Che k all services were open due to covid 19 and were advised they were. Arrived and bar closed, restaurant closed! Staff great on reception though and great location
