Stayed in the Hesperia for four nights in March. First impressions were not favourable. The hotel is in a street populated by an immigrant community of what seems to be mainly men, and this would feel slightly imtimidating for a lone female on arrival but quickly got used to this and had no problems with coming and going whatsoever. The reception area is very small looking onto an open-plan bar area which wasn`t inviting and had uncomfortable seating. However, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable. Our room looked out onto the back of apartments and the noise was intolerable. We couldn`t change rooms as the hotel was full, being Easter. The walls of the hotel are worse than paper thin, with all that entails !! and the residents of the apartments opposite ate, drank and were merry til three o`clock every night. The guests in the hotel on our visit were 100% Spanish and their evenings ended at a similar hour. Didn`t get one good nights sleep. The breakfast was faultless, hot and cold and plenty of it with very attentive staff. Also, the hotel is in a good location, 10 mins. walk to wonderful shopping streets and the all important historic quarter. Unfortunately I cannot reccommend this hotel to anyone who wants peace and quiet after a day of sightseeing but I would stay there again.

The location was good and most of the staff friendly enough, but unfortunately I don't have much else positive to say about this hotel. The decor was depressing and a little grubby, the 'double bed' was two fold up camp beds pushed together, the walls were thin and there was a lot of noise from other rooms and from the street. The 'business centre' comprised one very slow internet terminal which required you to enter a password every time you load a page, although we could barely get near it anyway as more often than not it was surrounded by a hoard of giggling teenagers. The included breakfast was woefully bad and unpalatable. We were very disappointed in this place, especially given that it wasn't exactly cheap. I wouldn't stay there again.

I stayed one night in September 2005. Some of the staff manning reception were good, friendly and helpful. Others were totally disinterested, not even bothering to return our Buenas Dias. For the price, the accommodation is about right, basic but clean and comfortable. The hotel suffers from the usual problem affecting all properties placed on narrow cobbled streets ie traffic noise. The thouroughfare outside is not busy at night but the occasional vehicle, especially the rubbish collectors truck, did wake us. If I visit the city again, I would probably spend a few more euros and find somewhere a little more pleasant.
