I had a great stay from Thursday 11/2/17 to Mon 11/6/17 at Hotel Illunion except for one major factor.
The hotel is not located too far from the airport; however, it is not really close to nightlife, shops, restaurants, and things of that nature. Taxi rides were a minimum of 10 minutes if we were leaving the hotel to any of the landmarks, palaces, stadiums, or Gran vía. The front desk always called a taxi for us and we never waited more than 5 minutes.
The hotel room was a decent size. It was 2 of us and we were very comfortable. We stayed in room 208 and there wasn't a view of anything but trees but it was ok. The bathroom was very clean, the water got hot, there was a fridge, a lot of closet space, and WiFi. There was also a gym, access to a computer, a lounge area, and a restaurant on the main floor. We dined at the restaurant once and it was very good. You can either charge the meals to the room or pay right away.
Our stay included daily breakfast. Continental breakfast was available, but if you wanted hot food, you just had to request it.
All of the staff were very accommodating and polite. The one major factor that I didn't like was from housekeeping. We didn't get any cleaning done in our room on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. We woke up late and were getting ready when they knocked on the door each day so we just asked for what we needed and did a little cleaning ourselves. We asked them to come back later each day, but they never did. Sunday I asked the front desk on our way out, could they please send someone to clean the room. When we returned, we realized the room had been straightened up but it was a horrible job. Our sheets nor our pillowcases has been changed, but they made the bed. I took my socks off in the bed the night before and the socks were still there with the bed made. Then on top of that, two of the towels were not changed either. My friends makeup was still on one of them (hopefully it was hers) but the towel was folded neatly and hanging on the rack. Thankfully the tub and the sink were cleaned.
That was a major turn off and I would have stayed here again and/or recommended this hotel if that didn't happen. We definitely would have noticed the poor cleaning so it seems to me that they don't care much about cleanliness and I wonder what they do behind closed doors?
That was my only problem so if you do choose to stay here, I would just thoroughly check my room for cleanliness before and during my stay. Make sure to have a converter if you have plugs from the US. Also make sure to bring washcloths because they do not have them available. read more
