Lovely hotel and great breakfast. Nice rooftop pool with great views of the city. Cracking location in thick of restaurants and bars

We love AIRE spas and booked in for a 2 night stay with a spa treatment. The decor is lovely and the whole place smells nice. Staff were lovely and it’s in a great location, in walking distance of the main attractions in Almeria. Bed was massively and we slept pretty well. Our hotel booking included 1 visit to the spa thermal experience, but you need to book in advance (by email). Breakfast was okay - mainly pastries/breads and fruit with no hot options available. The pool area is fairly small, there are only 4 sun loungers (2 of which were broken so you can’t move the back into an elevated position) but the pool was nice and clean and the views were lovely. The room was large, although the layout takes a bit of getting used to as there is no privacy when you are on the shower/toilet! The walls of the toilet could have done with a scrub as I could see lots of stains/limescale marks. There were an overwhelming number of light switches, it took us a long time each night to get all the lights switched off as they had to be switched on/off in a specific order. Room 107 was a little loud as it is located over some steps which lead into the courtyard and voices carried.

Very nice hotel and lovely staff. Only 2 issues...sheets didnt fit the bed and very slow restaurant service. We left to find a restaurant outside the hotel twice.
