Hi Juan,

I know for a fact that Liz/Guapetona stayed there quite recently (last month) wink , and so was I just visiting some friends. I really can't help you with your question about the history, but my opinion is that the greatest thing about it is it's terrific location (quite hard to beat), the little balconies overlooking 'Las Cuevas de Luis Candelas', and the famous restaurant Casa Botín!!! Everything in the inside looks very new it must have been renovated recently. Minuses?, just that in order to fit a bathroom in every room, these(the bathrooms) are very small.

Definetely not dusty!

Saludos.
