All in all, the hotel's primary and most valued attribute is its unbeatable and excellent location, which places guests within easy reach of Salamanca's main sights and amenities.
The breakfast experience at the Plaza de España hotel lacks consistency and has been a source of frustration for many guests. Some noted that there is no breakfast provided within the hotel, requiring guests to venture to nearby cafés such as Ana's Bar or Mónaco Coffee Shop. When available, the breakfast outside the hotel has been described as enjoyable, though issues such as inconvenient timings and additional costs dampen the experience. Guests are required to pay extra for breakfast, which can be more expensive than the actual cost at the café. In some instances, the external breakfast venues were closed, leaving guests without any breakfast option and sparking complaints about the lack of communication regarding breakfast availability and timing in the reservation details. Despite a few positive remarks, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction and inconvenience regarding breakfast arrangements at the hotel.
The rooms at Plaza de España have received mixed reviews from guests, leaning more towards the negative. Many guests noted that the rooms were incredibly small and cramped with the bathrooms being particularly tiny, to the extent that some could wash their hands while sitting on the toilet. The lack of maintenance and outdated furniture were common complaints with some highlighting issues like dirty sheets, moldy curtains and a strong smell of tobacco or mildew.
Despite these drawbacks, a few positive aspects were mentioned. Some rooms are noted to be warm and clean with very comfortable mattresses and pillows. The location was praised for being very close to the center and new windows provided effective noise insulation from the busy street outside. However, many felt the rooms were too basic and lacked essential amenities such as closets, shelves and functional sockets.
In summary, while Plaza de España boasts a central location and clean, warm rooms for some, the recurring issues of cramped spaces, poor maintenance and cleanliness problems overshadow these benefits.
'Plaza de España' presents a mixed bag when it comes to guests' experiences with their beds. Although some guests praised the comfortable beds and appreciated the large size of certain beds, there are significant concerns that overshadow the positive remarks.
Cleanliness frequently came into question with numerous reports of dirty bedspreads, stained mattresses and even bloodstains and pubic hair being found. The comfort of the beds was another major issue, as many guests found them to be uncomfortable, too hard or excessively soft to the point of being deformed or sunken. The pillows also did not fare well in the reviews with some suggesting they were old enough to be museum pieces and others describing them as unsuitable for a good night's rest.
Despite outliers who found the beds comfortable, the general consensus points to inconsistencies in cleanliness and comfort. Attention to mattress quality and cleanliness could significantly improve the overall guest experience at 'Plaza de España.'
