The essentials, no fluff:

Location in commercial and transit area

The hotel is on Rúa Santa Catarina, a busy shopping street with high foot and vehicle traffic. Ideal for shops and public transport (5-minute walk to metro, 10 minutes to train), but note it’s an active, not quiet, urban area.

Free parking without prior reservation

Features free private garage parking, including access for guests with reduced mobility. Cannot be reserved in advance, so availability depends on the moment.

Limited but present wellness services

Features small fitness centre, hot tub, and rooftop solarium terrace. These spaces are complementary, not the main focus of the accommodation.

Accessibility: available but with limitations

The hotel has a lift, adapted parking, and is listed as accessible for people with reduced mobility. However, some guests have noted restrictions, so it’s advisable to consult directly about specific needs.
