Palacio Solecio, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

Palacio Solecio, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

8/10 Good
"Tuvimos una muy buena estancia en el Palacio Solecio. El hotel es precioso, está muy bien ubicado y, sobre todo, queremos destacar la amabilidad y excelente atención de todo el personal. Siempre fueron muy agradables y atentos. El desayuno también nos gustó mucho, tanto por la calidad como por el ambiente. El único inconveniente importante fue el tema del aparcamiento. Cuando realizamos nuestra reserva, entendimos por la información disponible que el hotel contaba con aparcamiento y servicio de valet parking por un cargo adicional. Sin embargo, solo unas horas antes de nuestra llegada nos informaron de que las plazas estaban completamente ocupadas y finalmente no pudimos utilizar el servicio de valet parking. Tuvimos que dejar el coche en un aparcamiento público situado aproximadamente a dos cuadras del hotel y pagar el estacionamiento durante las 24 horas, con un coste de más de 30 € al día. No fue la experiencia que esperábamos basándonos en la información que habíamos recibido al reservar, especialmente tratándose de un hotel de esta categoría. Fuera de este inconveniente, nuestra experiencia fue muy positiva. El personal fue encantador, el servicio muy agradable y disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estancia. Sin duda, mejorar la información y la coordinación del aparcamiento haría que la experiencia fuese aún mejor. We had a very enjoyable stay at Palacio Solecio. The hotel is beautiful and very well located, and we especially appreciated the kindness and excellent service"
