Barceló Ourense — Hotel in Ourense

We were only in Ourense for the one night and were in a duplex room. On first sight the room was very lavish and top class.

Every little detail has been thought out and the bed was big and comfortable. There is a safe and a fridge and the aircon works. A huge TV and the choice of English speaking channels. The aircon was great and the shower was big and lots of hot water. The rooms were spotless. The hotel was very quiet and is situated right in the city centre.
