Gran Hotel Miramar GL
10/10 Excellent
"Having everything you need within 30 minutes to the airport was a nice luxury to have after a long day of traveling. We ate most of not all of our meals at the hotel due to how nice the ambiance an amenities are and having a sushi restaurant on-site was an added bonus. Maybe one of the coolest lobby/lounge areas you will experience. The staff was top notch and made for a relaxing stay!"
"New hotel very close to the train station. It is walkable to the train station. It is about a 20 minute walk from the city center, but other than that solid hotel."
"Reception was very friendly on arrival and checked us in quickly. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious with a large terrace. Unfortunately the proximity to the dual carriageway meant it was too noisy to be able to relax out there. Parking was also a bit of an issue with no parking outside the apartment but rather up a fairly steep hill which would make it quite difficult for anyone with mobility issues."
"The only issue that I had was regarding the parking.
I paid EUR 20 per day and I did not know that the parking was far away. We had to take the sidewalk with the bags and cross traffic lights, etc,
And for our surprise the parking was 2 levels down with the elevator broken. We had to take the 50 lbs bags by stairs (2 floors). When I talked to the hotel, they said that they did not know that the elevator was broken."
"We would like to thank Romina for being very hospitable from the time we first entered until the time we left. She promptly greeted us with a big smile making us feel welcome., had our accomodations ready in a moment and we were set. The rooms were one of the larger rooms we had over the couse of our week long stay in different hostels. The room was clean, spacious and most importantly comfortable! The bathrooms were clean and the showers were very nice with very good water pressure. There is no hair conditioner, just shampoo and body wash but that's perfectly fine.
On the day of check out we were able to store our luggage for just a few Euro. When we returned Romina was kind enough to let us stay in the lobby area to repack and get organized before our flight out that evening. She also helped explain the best options to get back to the airport, the proper train to take and the amount it would cost. vs. taking a taxi. We appreciate you Romina! Thank you :)
We would recommend Wostel Hostel to anyone looking for a place that is close to the local ammenities."
"Brand new Hotel with lovely layout adjecent to Aldi. Very convenient. Short walk to the beach. Friendly staff. Added security at night this is definitely a great place to stay. I felt safe and comfortable the night that we stayed. Parking was no problem on the street close by."
