Einmal und nie wieder
Pros:

Zentrale Lage

Cons:

In der Unterkunft war es sehr laut. Jugendliche Reisende waren bis spät in die Morgenstunden lautstark in den Gängen unterwegs. Es wurde geraucht und der Qualm zog in unser Zimmer.

Mala coordinación
Pros:

La ubicación es muy accesible para tomar el tren bus que conecta con el centro de la ciudad muy buena

Cons:

No me gustó:en recepción no hubo un buen manejo para registrar a las personas que habían realizado la reserva.
Lo incómodo que fue que llegue a la habitación y número de cama estaba ocupada
Baje a recepción me dieron otro número ya estaba vacía
Pero durante la estancia llegaron 5 personas preguntando por la misma cama que yo tenía ocupada yo creo que ese punto debería mejorar.

Sauberes, günstiges Hotel mit einfachem Komfort und gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Das Hotel bietet ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Zimmer und die Gemeinschaftsbereiche waren sauber und ordentlich, auch im Bad war alles vorhanden und gepflegt. Außerdem konnte man in den umliegenden Straßen kostenlos parken, was sehr praktisch war.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft liegt relativ weit vom Zentrum entfernt und die Umgebung wirkt nicht besonders einladend. Das Bad und WC befinden sich außerhalb des Zimmers, daher musste man immer daran denken, die Chipkarte mitzunehmen. Das Personal war teilweise noch sehr jung und wirkte stellenweise etwas unerfahren.
