Frommer's Review

Located in a landmark building from 1886, this traditional red-brick hotel (where, among past literary and musical international visitors, Virginia Woolf used to stay) overlooks a narrow street lined with bars and tascas. The well-maintained rooms are contemporarily furnished and come in a variety of shapes -- mostly small, some in the back are quite dark -- with compact bathrooms with shower stalls. The lobby is air-conditioned, but guest rooms are not (though they benefit from the effective heating during cold winter months). In summer, however, guests who open their windows at night often get some noise from the narrow Echegaray Street and the enclosed courtyard, so light sleepers beware (bring earplugs just in case). The service, though a trifle impersonal, is informed and efficient.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
