My wife & I decided we would treat ourselves and have a cocktail and some light food on the patio at this beautiful & iconic Alfonso VIII hotel. We sat down and after a very long wait to get their attention, ordered two cappuccinos to start and asked the server to clean the seat as it had bird feces on it.

Read moreI was here in 2021 and had an incredible meal so was raving about it to my friends, and then we brought them here and it was not the same level of quality. It looks similar it's just a cheap impression of something more expensive. Completely lacking in taste... But for the same price.
Also the food was brought randomly and I had two courses finished before my mum even was served one. I hope they bring back the quality from the last time.
Cocktails are fine though, but still disappointed and the rest of our party too were not too happy to spend so much on a price that didn't really deliver the...
