Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi essentially non-existent
The Hotel Espana's Wi-Fi is virtually non-existent - according to the feedback of previous visitors. It was regularly claimed that the Wi-Fi was very slow and unreliable, to the point that some could not even access the facility during their stay at the hotel.
negative:
No lift present within the hotel
The inconvenience of the hotel not owning a lift was a disappointing aspect for numerous past guests. In addition, it was also stated that the accommodation's stairs were steep, narrow and somewhat slippery.
negative:
No bar or restaurant on-site
It has been noted by former visitors that the Hotel Espana is very basic in terms of public facilities, highlighted by the omission of a bar and dedicated restaurant. This negative is further compounded by the reported lack of dining/drinking options within walking distance from the hotel.
