    After a long journey from south of Spain we were greeted with a very warm welcome. The hotel was spotless clean, very cosy and warm 10/10. The staff were so attentive and helpful. The hotel was in an excellent location, a couple of minutes walk to centre. Our ferry was delayed by two days, and unfortunately the hotel was fully booked for the extra days, but they offered to accommodate us in another part of the hotel……customer service top notch with a warm helpful manner. We will stay here again. Perfect 100% Thankyou Hotel Los Angeles xx
