Sol Almeria

Good hotel, quiet, spacious room with air conditioning. Very friendly staff, and fantastic breakfast. We were walking to the center (10/15 mins).

I chose this property because it was described as "a few meters from the center". It is actually in the suburbs (20 minutes walk). Air conditioning operated by a PC in the lobby. That is, if I am too cold or too hot I always have to call reception to get it adjusted from their PC. Absurd! In addition, on arrival, an amount of 50 euros is taken by ATM or card which, if all goes well, will be returned to you when you leave, if they decide that you have not broken anything in the room. Of course, before leaving the hotel I demanded the control of the room and the immediate cancellation of the deposit. Otherwise, the hotel is, in my opinion, a star. Three more! The guy at reception, however, is very nice and helpful but does not compensate for the shortcomings of the hotel that, given the experience, I overpaid.

Terrible hotel, on a busy road, what you hear day/night. Rooms are very noisy, you hear everything the neighbors do. No safe, air conditioning is outdated. Reception speaks (almost) no English, and not helpful, my phone was stolen, was not even allowed to call in the hotel, to block the bank, what a Bad Service. Center of Almeria is half an hour walk, beach is much further away, which must be by taxi or private transport. Breakfast very sober. Parking your car is impossible near the hotel, there is not even a parking port for quick check-in. The hotel is affordable, that's all said.
