Hotel La Zambra

La Zambra is a charming hotel in a quiet neighborhood. Well appointed, airy, scrupulously clean, air conditioned. good wifi, with room size above common minimums. The 12 noon to 12 noon checkin/checkout is very generous and almost unheard of, The price of 44€ single on an early May weekend is very fair (cheaper weekdays). I've often paid more for less. The comfortable lobby has elevator access, a guest refrigerator, microwave, and 24-hour coffee/tea, but no utensils or plates. The staff is very friendly but, in my experience, apparently Spanish-speaking only. All in all, a very pleasant place to stay. Things to note: 1) Although their statement "No parking available" is true in that there is no onsite or street parking in the immediate vicinity, there is free street parking in surrounding neighborhoods. I found a spot a 7-minute walk away. 2) Reception is closed from 1300-1600 but you can check in during that period by letting them know your arrival time. In my case, this procedure failed badly but the reception clerk apologized profusely and I'm sure it was a one-time problem. A voice call to notify arrival time during siesta is better than a booking.com message, but their phone number is not (and should be!) WhatsApp accessible. 3) In my room (204), the bathtub doors, shower head mount, and tub drain all needed some maintenance but this is easily fixed and probably room-specific.

Central location, safe cycle storage at owners initiative.
