Amazing, quirky but enjoyable!
This is a most interesting place to stay. Don’t get me wrong, as it was enjoyable if a little quirky in that it is a huge building with high ceilings and amazing architecture. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, if in need of a little attention, this hotel will delight.

A Beautiful Old Hotel
It was an amazing experience staying in an old but still beautiful hotel. It needs a major renovation to convert it into a modern hotel. We enjoyed most the thermal bath.

El hotel necesita una mejora a fondo, tanto en el mantenimiento como en la Limpieza de los Baños en las habitaciones. El personal es Excelente y su atención merece un 10, por lo que las deficiencias provienen de otras fuentes ajenas al trato directo del personal. También podrían mejorar en el ruido excesivo que produce el Bingo y los bailes, que no todo el mundo comparte. La finalidad del Balneario ha de ser el reponer fuerzas, disfrutar de la tranquilidad y facilitar las condiciones que ayuden a superar , aunque sea solo por unos días, el estado de ánimo de los pacientes que acuden a él. Les deseo suerte en todos los empeños que hagan para mejorar su calidad y siempre ser recordados como el mejor Balneario de España.

Sitio agradable para pasar unos días . Por momentos muy masificado. Servicio de balneario limpio y bueno. El personal muy agradable. Los precios de cafetería y restaurante no se corresponden ni con la calidad ni con la variedad , ni con la profesionalidad q ofrecen. Servicio de limpieza de habitaciones ruidoso y no demasiado concirnzudo.
