the hotel was in the outskirts of the city center. it took about 20 minutes by cab to see the monuments and the tapas spots. the room itself was large and consisted of a separate closet area, living room and bedroom but there were water spots on cups, the bathroom (although large) was dark and the flooring was just slabs of marble laid down on the foundation, so if you weren't careful the tiles of the flooring moved :( my husband and I were just grateful it was just us and not the children. the staff in lobby was very kind but the restaurant staff was very irritable.
