"This hotel is located facing the Cathedral in a building constructed more than 500 years ago by the Catholic King Fernando de Aragón as a hospital. Since 1928 has been transformed to a 5 Stars Luxury hotel. The premises are remarkably well maintained. The breakfast is superb. The staff is very courteous, polite and helpful. I recommend to walk around the courtyards and the hallways to appreciate the architecture and the antique furniture; and also to see the golden chapel of the King."

"Hotel has a great breakfast so you dont have to venture out early in the morning. Dinner on the other hand its not very good and you are probably better off eating at a local restaurant. The place is very well kept and clean. The room are nothing fancy but good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is far enough from the city so you dont deal with the huge crowds but a taxi will be around 10 euros to get there. I would certainly stay there again next time."
