Hotel Párraga Siete

It's beautiful, centrally located and comfortable.

Even though the hotel ticks a lot of the boxes as the score indicates, I didn't love the vibe I was getting there. It was giving me a little too bougie, trying too hard to be classy kind of vibe while it is just like any other hotel where nothing really special goes on.

The bed and the room were comfortable. It smelled clean and every day they brought a glass bottle of water. At the lobby apples are available for the customers, which I appreciated. The location is good, close to the shopping district. I prefer it to Albaicin which seems much more touristy and where restaurants seemed a bit overpriced.

The lady at the reception seems a little uninformed about the city. If I simply wanted a room, I would have booked an Airbnb. I expect staff to give good recommendations about the city, specific places to see and restaurants to eat. The lady at the reception simply encircled broad zones on the map and said "there are nice places over there". What a discovery! It is just disappointing that local staff could not give more local recommendations. The a la carte breakfast is like a joke. I don't normally have expectations about breakfast in Europe but for a generally well-maintained hotel restaurant, having in the menu solely tartines and sandwiches (and the bread quality was quite poor) was ridiculous. The tartines were nothing special. Just dry bread and little ingredients. I would have at least expected that they served boiled eggs (which is not a big sacrifice for this hotel where they serve excellent dishes for lunch and dinner). All in all, don't have your breakfast there, go somewhere else.

The restaurant was excellent. Staff were great. We were upgraded to a room that was an apartment.

Breakfast was just a basket of rolls and cold cuts.
