Tandem Torre De La Calahorra

I can speak only about room 005. The constant noise from what seems to be a utility or air-conditioning room next door was hard to ignore. The room itself felt like a dentist's office, and the bed was short, with a sofa beside it so there was nowhere for your legs to hang over. There was an espresso machine, but no capsules. It’s hard to understand why the hotel couldn’t spare 50 cents for them.

The place was quiet and had good air conditioning, and it’s a really nice 15-minute walk to the Mosque Cathedral and Alcazar gardens. Just know that check-in happens somewhere else. They do explain this in an email and send directions to the check-in hotel. Entry is fairly high-tech, with codes on the doors.

The room was very nice, and the location made it easy to explore. The Roman Bridge is just a short walk from the front door, and once you cross it, everything is within walking distance. We were a little confused by the email-based check-in at first, but the final message cleared it up. Finding the parking garage was difficult since it was on the far side of the building.

The hotel is in a good spot, but the welcome email didn’t give the exact location for checking in at another hotel. I also found the nearby parking lots very unsafe. At night, groups of people were hanging around, waiting for a chance to “ask for” money. Be careful if you book here or elsewhere in the area.
