Cheap and clean stay - quite noisy.

I would’ve liked to have given this 5 stars but the only downfall was that the cleaner woke us up around 8am each morning having loud conversations outside our room and slamming doors in the corridor etc. Seeing as we are on holiday we would’ve preferred to not be woken up every day as being sleepy had an impact on our trip,… The hotel is in a good location, room was clean and we paid a good price.

I check in was easy, though the person at the front desk knew no English. The lobby seems spacious and comfortable. Noise from the street was non existent for my room in the rear of the building. The main problem involved… The positives about Ballesta are obvious. It is at a good location. Just north of Gran Via and very central.
