Hostal Fuentesol

The value for money and central location of this hostal is the major selling point for staying here. The single room I got matched the pictures posted on booking.com and the bedroom floor and bin were cleaned every day. I enjoyed having a small fridge, though there were stains inside, under the side table as there is no kitchen facilty in this hostal. There is a lift to this 3rd floor hostal and you feel quite secure inside as you get three keys for unlocking 3 different doors. Overall the room was a pleasant enough place to sleep in for short breaks.

The rooms facing the street get a lot of street noise until late into the night even in winter. The bedroom felt very overheated so I had to keep the door window onto the small balcony ajar and then the street noise was even louder. The single bed was actually sized 1 and half and this occupied a lot of the room making the path to the door window narrow. The shared toilets with their sinks are basic, undecorated with chipped tiles here and there. Definitely the whole hostal needs some paintwork done.

Very clean. Courteous service. Having a fridge and shower in the room was really nice. I had booked a single room and was pleased that it was a 4ft single with room to spread.

The decor is tired and old, some of the floor tiles were badly cracked. I found the pillow very uncomfortable, although the bed was fine. The room was very hot despite turning off the radiator and it being only 9 degrees outside. I opened the window but this let in all the noise of outside. I was impressed how well the window was sound insulated which wasn't the case of the wall between rooms and a noisily copulating couple.
