Zentral Ave
Clean room, helpful staff, excellent breakfast. Parking is a bit on the expensive side plus the EV charging operator is a bit expensive. You can find both fast and slow chargers opposite hotel and they are cheaper

NH Ciudad de Zaragoza
Great location, very clean, friendly staff and a good breakfast selection. The “single” rooms are a very reasonable size, with a good sized bathroom. Only issue is that the bathroom gets rather humid. The “gym” is very modest so I used a commercial one nearby.

The hotel was nice and the staff was great. I was very impressed with the breakfast, very nicely done. Great selection of food and the staff was cleaning and straightening the entire time to ensure everything was perfect.
