Hostal Albero by gaiarooms

The room was pretty basic, but it had everything needed. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean. There was a sink in the room which I didn't expect but was very handy. The location was easy to find.

There is no staff there, so when someone kept smoking in the bathroom, there was no one to react straight away

The people running the place are nice. The checking in is a bit complicated: you are supposed to take a picture of your documents through some webpage. It did kotnwork for me. However, there eas no problem with sending them thrriugh whatsapp. Once that is done, you will get a link. At the door, you long-tap a "key" on that link and that opens the door. You find a physical key in the room. The shower is nicely warm and wifi is fast (100mbit). There is about ten rooms, some with private bathrooms, there are twonshared bathrooms. For the money we paid, it was really a great space. Leaving our luggage in a hotel in the center was also great.

We got a room that is on none of the pictures and is smaller than the ones pictured. We got a window onto a small yard with drying clothes (but some rooms are street faced). We got shower gell in four small packages, which is a bit wasteful. The matrace are way too soft, the bedlamp has white light (not conductive to putting you to sleep). The walls are indeed thin but the place was half empty so it was not a big deal.

Location

The elaborate online check in, for a traveller on the move. Too remote and no human hand perceivable

The room was very smokey. People clearly used the area outside the window to smoke. The electronic lock didn't work for my room, necessitating a call to the company for assistance.
