Great hotel. Why?
- best location in Salamanca
- loved the rooftop pool and area
- breakfast was excellent
- beautiful decor
What I did not like?
- had an interior room. Prefer one with a view to the street
Was not the best experience with Saturday morning very noisy 7:30am cleaning and hovering of other rooms and generally not very helpful staff and team . Great room bar and small nice touches .
