Sure, it says two stars on the front of the Hotel Adriano. But we were fooled. The services offered at this establishment exceed its modest stellar rating.
The hotel is located on a main drag near the Plaza de Toros and Real Maestranza and about a seven-minute walk to the Cathedral. Baratillo, an extremely small but nevertheless famous church, is just across the street. During Semana Santa, religious street processions commence inside its heavy doors. Guests at the Adriano have a front row seat from the hotel's rooftop.
The hotel has an old-fashioned, grandiose entrance, and large European café. But it's the sundeck on the roof, as well as the Jacuzzi and exercise bike, that impress us the most. Rooms themselves are small even by European standards, but they are regally decorated with classic heavy wood furniture and thick bedspreads. Both the TV and full-length mirror are larger than you'll find most other places.
Be sure to ask ahead for a room with a balcony that overlooks the street. Note: the Internet connection is spotty.
