Rooms
Fuentes is an older hotel, a trait that adds a unique charm for some guests. The hotel's location is highly praised, being both convenient and lively. The rooms, though varied in quality, offer all necessary amenities such as a bed, nightstands, wardrobe and bathroom with a few even featuring a TV.

Cleanliness seems to be a hit-or-miss aspect at Fuentes, as some guests found their rooms clean and well-maintained, while others reported issues like dirt, ants, musty smells and stained bedding. The bathrooms also receive mixed reviews with complaints about outdated facilities and unpleasant odors.

Several guests appreciated the firm bedding and spacious rooms, although others found the mattresses uncomfortably hard. Despite the occasional noise from the street and lack of air conditioning, many still found the rooms comfortable and a good value for the price.

A traditional Moroccan breakfast is well-received, adding a touch of local flavor to the stay. Overall, Fuentes seems to cater well to those looking for a basic, affordable stay in a central location, yet it falls short in providing consistent room quality and comprehensive cleanliness.

Beds
Guests at FUENTES have expressed mixed feelings about the hotel's beds. For those who prefer firmer mattresses, the bedding is generally described as great, firm and comfortable, allowing for a good night's rest. However, the comfort of the beds is subjective, as some guests found them uncomfortably hard with descriptions likening them to rocks, causing discomfort and even pain. While the bed's firmness works well for some, it seems too extreme for others.

On the positive side, guests who appreciate firm beds found them very comfortable and were satisfied with the quality of sleep they provided. Despite the challenges with the firmness, the general sentiment leans towards the beds being super comfortable for those who enjoy a harder mattress.

However, numerous negative aspects were brought up regarding cleanliness and room conditions. The rooms are often described as very small with old, dirty and smelly sheets and blankets. Other cleanliness issues include infrequent room cleaning and outdated bedding. Noise from the street and within the hotel also disrupts sleep, along with an unpleasant odor described as a dirty cat smell.

Overall, while firm bed enthusiasts might find the beds at FUENTES suits their needs, the hygiene and room conditions appear to be significant downsides for potential guests.

Cleanliness
Despite some occasional mentions of clean rooms at 'FUENTES', the overall cleanliness of the hotel leaves much to be desired. Common concerns include dirty bathrooms with unpleasant odors, stained and old sheets and minimal room cleaning unless specifically requested by guests. Visitors reported issues with ants, spiders and other bugs, as well as inconsistent towel cleanliness. Structural maintenance and thorough refurbishment seem necessary, as rooms are described as old, rundown and poorly kept. The cleanliness of the common areas also detracts from the guest experience, contributing to an overall impression of neglect.

Some reviews praise the Wi-Fi for working properly and being decent, highlighting that it functions well and offers good connectivity. However, there are recurring mentions of the Wi-Fi being weak, fluctuating or disconnecting frequently. In some instances, guests experienced no internet connection in the room or noted a Wi-Fi outage during their stay. The service can be slow at times but remains functional. While there are positive remarks about the Wi-Fi quality, it's clear that there is room for improvement to ensure a more consistent and reliable connection for all visitors.
