Hotel Abril 37

Great little hotel with a great warm welcome and an ideal base to explore the area, our room was very clean with plenty of space and a door out into the garden area which is nice to read a book or just chill, or just amble around a see how many of the tortoises are wandering about or the birds that come and go. We only stayed two day as we were travelling all around but it would have been easy to stay a few days more,a great little find of a hotel.

There was good communication with the enthusiastic and friendly host Paola from the outset. You need to let her know when you are arriving as reception is not staffed all the time. It is a genuine urban boutique hotel with character and a lovely garden that you can wander around to admire the lemons, vines and pomegranates. You get into it via a terrace that has a number of comfy seats and a welcome awning. Everything felt chic and trendy, down to the tasteful T shirts on sale in reception. There’s an honesty bar by the terrace with payment on check-out. Access to the room was easy with a good old fashioned key (not always the case). And again, the safety deposit box was straightforward with a key. There’s very good air con and wifi. And it’s in a superb location only a couple of minutes' walk from the historic centre of the town. There were no significant downsides but you need to know there is limited wardrobe space but it is probably ok for a short stay. Some may not like the see-through WC and shower panels, although they do include some obscure glass. Overall, a really great place to stay!
