For an incredibly budget-friendly hotel, this place punched well above its weight—but you must book the upgraded Iconic rooms. The hotel itself is currently a bit of a mishmash and clearly going through some renovations (the daybeds are oddly positioned away from the pool), but it is clean, modern, and highly functional.
The location is a fantastic strategic base. It’s right on the edge of San Antonio, meaning you're outside the chaos but only a 5-minute drive from Pikes. Having a Lidl right across the road is also a massive plus for grabbing supplies.
The Iconic room itself was absolutely lovely—spacious, newly renovated, and came with a massive balcony. Upgrading also unlocks a late breakfast service (brilliant if you've been out late). There was an initial check-in mix-up where they put me in a standard room first, which was frustrating with heavy luggage, but staff corrected it quickly. The upgrade is completely worth it.
Expect some classic budget hotel hidden fees. They try to charge you a €2 deposit just to use a plastic cup by the pool, and parking was €10 a night instead of the €5 listed online. However, I was happy to pay it for the peace of mind of having a hire car in a secure lot rather than across the road.
The Verdict: Excellent value for money if you bypass the standard rooms. I would absolutely use it as a base again.
