Great location but needs a refresh
We stayed for 2 nights and the area was perfect, super close to restaurants! The room was clean, but honestly, it felt dated and a bit tired. The bathroom could use a makeover, the shower was a letdown. Breakfast was decent, but nothing fancy. Plus, the noisy extractor fan was kinda annoying.

I had a lovely stay with a huge room that had two big windows overlooking the charming streets, and the breakfast was deliciously satisfying. I really enjoyed relaxing in the cozy lounge and taking advantage of the lovely garden space. While the decor felt a bit outdated, it only added to the hotel's character. just don't expect modern amenities. 😊

Historic building with charming period features. Room needed better upkeep, furnishings looked very tired. Staff helped a lot during our stay. A lovely breakfast variety to choose from.

The food scene near The Lion is top-notch! Definitely check out Casa Naranjo for some fab tapas and The Good Life for epic vegetarian dishes. my room was all about those charming period features that added a touch of history to my stay.
Now, some of the decor and bathrooms could use a little TLC, but come on, it gives that vintage vibe! I had a bonkers good time, though it wouldn’t hurt to spruce up a bit.

Charming historical stay with excellent breakfast
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this quaint hotel with its distinct historical charm and character. The breakfast was a highlight, offering an excellent selection, including freshly cooked options that were delicious. the shower pressure was an issue, making it difficult to enjoy a proper wash, which dampened the experience a bit.

Perfect for a laid-back couple getaway
The breakfast was great, just like any well-executed plan, strategic and satisfying. I appreciated the friendly staff, they really made you feel welcome, kind of like catching a lucky break in a tense moment.
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable considering the location.
