"Facilities: This is by far one of the most modern hotels I've stayed at in Europe, but the bed was ridiculous. The double room had two single beds pushed together (the duvets were tucked in separately under each mattress, leaving a huge gap in the middle).
Environment: I'm not sure if it's because mine was a basic room type or for some other reason (the front desk didn't ask me about the view when I checked in), but I got a low-floor room facing the gap between two buildings. (I didn't know it would have this kind of window before checking in, so I didn't mention it; I've lived in Spain for half a year and never seen buildings with windows directly facing each other like that.) The window looked directly onto the windows of the building opposite. Picture 3 shows the lighting at 3 PM, which looked like nighttime. I was too tired from carrying two suitcases to bother going back downstairs to change rooms.
Hygiene: On the surface, it looked very clean, and it felt like the staff had cleaned diligently. However, the bathroom had a strong moldy, damp smell from the drain. I mentioned it to the front desk when I went out, and they said they'd send someone to deal with it. When I got back, I found they'd just sprayed some air freshener. Once the freshener scent dissipated, the drain smell returned. Judging by the front desk's reaction, it seems many guests have reported the same issue; while I was still describing the situation, she interjected and said, 'lo mismo' (the same).
Other facilities: There's a paid minibar, and no complimentary bottled water or drinking water was provided. There were coffee and tea bags. There were NO charging outlets by the bed!!! I had to charge my devices by the desk or on the wall under the TV.
Service: Every front desk staff member was very friendly, and they offered luggage storage."
