The rooms at Hotel Complutense are appreciated for their comfort and cleanliness, especially the bathrooms which are newly renovated and maintained well.

Reviewers frequently highlight its proximity to the train station and the main street, adding to its convenience for both leisure and business trips.

Breakfast
Hotel Complutense offers an interesting approach to breakfast by directing guests to nearby cafes, about 50 meters from the establishment itself. This arrangement seems to have its upsides: many guests highlighted the quality of breakfast at these external locations, noting the great variety and generous portions available. Some even appreciated the calm atmosphere and the chance to explore local cafes, which they described as serving very good and even spectacular breakfasts.

However, the system is not without its drawbacks. A few reviews mentioned that there's some inconsistency in how breakfast is communicated to guests. Some guests weren't made aware of the breakfast arrangement and others were disappointed by the lack of an in-house option. There were also comments on the simplicity of the breakfasts with some guests finding options limited to basic items like bread with tomato and coffee.

Despite these mixed reviews, several guests found value in the breakfast experience, particularly appreciating the reasonable pricing and the opportunity to choose from a broader selection at nearby cafes. For those who prioritize a hearty breakfast and a good location, Hotel Complutense might still offer a satisfying start to the day.

Rooms
Hotel Complutense offers rooms that are consistently noted for their comfort and cleanliness. Many guests appreciate the coziness of the beds and the overall tidiness of the space. The bathrooms, in particular, have received positive remarks with some being newly renovated and generally clean.

However, one of the most prevailing comments is the compact size of the rooms. Travelers have highlighted that the rooms are quite small and can feel cramped, particularly for larger groups or families. This tight spacing extends to the bathrooms, which are often described as tiny. Noise concerns have also been mentioned with some indicating that the rooms are somewhat noisy at night.

While the furnishings and room layout might not be luxurious, they offer good value for the price, especially given the hotel's central location. Some rooms would benefit from maintenance and soundproofing improvements, as well as better water pressure in the sinks.

Overall, Hotel Complutense seems to be a suitable choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and basic comfort over luxury and spaciousness.

Beds
Hotel Complutense offers a mixed experience when it comes to bedding. Several guests have found the beds to be quite comfortable, appreciating both the mattresses and the pillows. However, a significant number of visitors have voiced concerns about the comfort and size of the beds. Many mattresses are described as old, sagging and narrow with some guests noting that they sink to the bed frame and are quite noisy. The beds are often found to be too short for taller individuals and some guests reported that their feet hung off the edge.

While some guests have praised the mattresses and pillows as excellent, others found the pillows too high and the mattresses very uncomfortable. The noise from beds squeaking and the age of the furniture were also mentioned. Despite some positive notes, including several reviews stating that the beds were comfortable, the overall consensus leans towards a need for improvement in the bedding quality and size.

Cleanliness
Hotel Complutense receives mixed feedback regarding its cleanliness standards. Some guests report very good cleanliness, including daily cleaning and towel changes, well-maintained premises and clean bathrooms with spacious showers. However, many guests are dissatisfied with the overall hygiene. Reports highlight issues such as stained bedspreads, dirty floors and moldy spots in rooms. Specific complaints include dirty plastic cups, remnants of ash in bathrooms and hairs on beds and linens. The presence of dust and unpleasant odors, such as tobacco smoke, further detracts from the experience. While a few guests felt the cleanliness was average or acceptable, the recurring theme suggests that cleanliness could be significantly improved to meet the standards expected by guests.

Alongside the friendly atmosphere, guests also note the unbeatable value for money and the hotel's convenient location, making it a popular choice for return visits.

The standout feature is the attentive and friendly staff, who consistently go out of their way to accommodate guests' needs, even adapting where possible. The central location is advantageous, providing easy access to various services and amenities nearby.
