Hotel Alminar  

Wonderfful staff who were very helpful to us as we explore the old, winding streets in the historic district.

Great central location. Basic but modern.

The only problem with the location was that the streets below were quite noisy on a Saturday but that's only to be expected but you might want to think about taking ear plugs if it is really going to bother you. I imagine this is the same for most of the central hotels.

Excellent central location, yet quiet.

Little daylight.

The reception staff were knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. They also spoke excellent english. The optional breakfast was well worth having. At 6 euros, it compared extremely well with local alternatives.

Our only small niggle was that there were not enough hangers or shelf space in the wardrobe.

Clean Good location Nice and helpful staff Free low of coffee and drinks Good spread of breakfast

Good location

Very good value for money. Excellent location, I could walk everywhere I wanted. I took a local bus from the airport to the centre, and the hotel was only about 1 km away. Quiet pedestrian street did not bother me, even my room was on the ground floor (booked single room, but had small double standard) - but if you want to sleep a bit later and not to wake up on the noice coming from the lobby/breakfast/reception, I recommend you to take your earplugs with you. Comfortable bed, quiet airconditioning, basic but yet stylish room.

Only minus was the smell coming from the bathroom plumming, but that is probably a common problem in the old houses of the historical centre.

This was a very nice, small hotel. The man, I think his name was Bonnie, at the front desk was very nice. The breakfast was worth the six euros. We had a lovely room on the top floor with a terrace and a view of the catedral

Location

The location of the hotel is fantastic. Metres from the cathedral and restaurants and easy walking distance to many other places of interest. There's a pony-and-trap rank right by the cathedral which is a great way of seeing all the sights of the city. The staff in the hotel are lovely and very accommodating. The day we checked out, the manager was having a bit of a nightmare with all of the incoming clients arriving early before the existing guests had checked out, but he still kept his sense of humour.

There is no vehicular access to the hotel - we got terribly confused when our satnav was telling us to turn up tiny pedestrianised roads! Our fault for not reading the details properly. Once you know this, though, you can park up outside the EME Catedral hotel to drop your bags off at the Alminar - this is only a couple of minutes' walk. You then park up in one of the city's larger car parks, which are fantastic value at €17.50 for a full day (compare this to parking in Las Ramblas in Barcelona where it can cost €80+ per day!).

The room was very nice. It was great to have two balconies, hi-fi, tv, fridge with two free drinks! Location is very convenient and staff is extremely kind, welcoming and helpful!

When I took a shower, the whole bathroom was full of water... something needed fixing in the shower box!

The Staff was excellent. My room was very modern, comfortable and always very clean! The location could not have been beat!! I had such a great time that would book with them again!
