LAS CORTES DE CÁDIZ * * *
Hotel located in the heart of the historic center offering rooms of good comfort, some have small balconies
This is the hotel that was missing in Cadiz! In the heart of the historic centre (on a street leading to San Francisco and Mina), this charming 3-star hotel, while retaining its original structure in an ancient, typically gaditane house (from the th century), has been coloured with pastel tones and paintings dedicated to the historic characters of the Cortes, the instigator of the first Spanish Constitution. With a large ceiling patio, the 36 comfortable rooms spread over three floors are very pleasant. Some have small balconies, the second floor is larger. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The service is of high quality, especially as relaxation facilities with solarium, an excellent cafeteria participating in the tapas competitions and a restaurant accompany it. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Roof terrace bar is a nice addition and so is the attached cafe/bar which did a nice selection for breakfast.
The room itself was clean with a comfy bed and a modern bathroom. The balcony meant you could step out and enjoy the hustle of the street. However that same proximity to the street meant it was a bit loud at night as people pass underneath or if a few locals are having a drink below at the cafe/bar.
This slight noise is a worthwhile trade off though when you consider how great the location of this hotel is. Short walk to most main sights and on a lovely historical street.
Lastly, we loved the additional touch of each room being named after a historic figure (with a portrait inside to explain their significance).
Would 100% stay again if we returned to Cadiz!
