Staff very friendly.
Very expensive for location and comfort.
While rather centrally located, the area does not seem safe, which is unusual in itself in Spain.
The room was clean but very simple and had some bars in front of the window.
Breakfast is served in a different location.
Recidencia Universitaria offers essential amenities, maintains a clean and welcoming environment, and has friendly staff. Although it lacks air conditioning, its convenient location near the city center and train station makes it a practical choice for travelers.
The studio room was very usable and it was great to have a microwave/oven device to reheat food. The laundry facilities in the basement was convenient as well

Nobody at front desk for several minutes when we arrived late at night. Said we still owed for the room even though we had a receipt saying the room was paid in full.

Good sized property that was clean throughout. The area around the property is a little risky at night.
Good value for money. Single room with en-suite had all the basics needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. People not used to cities might find the location and vibe of the streets around the accommodation slightly off-putting, but nothing to be scared of. Location is in fact very handy. Breakfast in a nearby bar is nice.
Room good and staff friendly and helpful. Well situated for all the main sights BUT the junkies, drug pushers and illegal street vendors on the street outside was quite unacceptable. I have travelled quite extensively in my long life and have stayed in fairly rough areas and have never felt nervous, but this time I was!!! Has anyone from Expedia actually checked out this place?
