Pensión Plaza Nueva

The hotel is very basic. The bed was comfortable and the shower, etc. worked, but the rooms (apparently all identical but for the colour scheme) are fairly small and lacking a number of basic amenities (e.g. a kettle). Fine for spending a night, but not recommended for more than one night. Beware that the hotel does not have an on-site reception. We were able to access the building and room with access codes without problems thanks to prior communication with the hotel via email, but this may cause issues for some. We did, however, need to contact the hotel shortly after check-in, outside of business hours, and the sign in the room gave one number that it said was not in service outside of business hours and another emergency number that would incur exorbitant fees if used (from memory, €5/minute). This resulted in us having to spend twenty minutes creatively attempting to contact the hotel via our third-party booking website, with limited success. The location is phenomenal, right on the Plaza Nueva. You have excellent bars/restaurants and a lively atmosphere right at the front door. All three stars are for the location.

The pension is located in an unbeatable place for the beach goer. Plenty of good restaurants and bars very close by. The room was clean but it shows age. The AC was good and the room had good sunlight. The real minus was the bed. Two small twin beds just place together and not even attached to each other. So if you move at night like I do, you will end in between the beds! The beds were really small and uncomfortable. With a few changes this place would be a jewel because of the location.

Fantastic location, staff, room, very clean and secure. From the moment of booking to departure Danny and the staff were very hospitable. We’d go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend to all travellers.
