This is an older hotel run by Ignacio and his (at the time) fiance Cristina. I believe they married in October but not sure. Ignacio is a great host, kind and friendly, very hard-working man. Yes, the bedrooms could be spruced up but the bathrooms, at least mine, looked brand new. I stayed in room # 1, I believe. The breakfast was simple and it offered basically what we needed. One thing that I would recommend is a motion light sensor when you wish to go downstairs as it was a little too dark and I was afraid of falling. If the lights would turn on, it would be safer to go downstairs. The location is excellent since it allowed us to get to the heart of town in no time.
Remperts cafe was a big disappointment. The outside of hotel was super cute with red painted shudders and flowers and location was great. They do not allow you to check in until 4pm which was not consistent with other hotels in area. Inside the room was very outdated with a tiny room for 2 people. Covers on comforter looked liked they were worn. There was no lighting in the stairway and they were difficult to climb with luggage. No hot water in the outdated shower and bathroom. Breakfast was on ok.
The rooms are basic but that's reflected in the price. It's very affordable. The staff are so nice and the food is delicious!
Yes, beware the service is excellent when the hired help is there but the owner has his own agenda and a big mortgage to pay, so pricing may change. Was not impressed with either the room or the meals.
We had lunch with my wife and 3 kids. The place was packed (good sign). Food was delicious and the server who is from Vitoria Spain was super helpful and nice! Thank you
