Great value for money and lovely staff
Pros:

Great location, easy to navigate places near by. Lovely and helpful staff as well as great facilities.

Cons:

Only one minor negative which can’t be controlled by the property was very loud construction noise nearby which started early in the morning. Would be dependant on when you stayed but the property provided earplugs as well which was helpful!

Piso y cubre piso manchado, camas incómodas , en un lado pegadas a la pared . Toallas viejas y raídas La habitación parece un galpón . No volvería a este hotel

Very comfortable stay. I would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Reception was very friendly and helpful.
Room was nice and a great size.
Wonderful location. You can walk to the beach within a few minutes. Tram stop a couple of minutes away.
Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

Cons:

The only suggestion I would make about the room, it could have had a couch in it as it was big enough. There was no place to sit other than on the bed. One chair at a small dining table.
