Excelente opción cercana al centro y a la estación de tren
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, especialmente si viajas en tren. La habitación era de buen tamaño considerando que teníamos una cuna y 3 valijas. Además, son exactamente iguales a las fotos publicadas.

Cons:

El único detalle que tengo para criticar es que el recubrimiento del baño no está bien colocado y no queda del todo limpio.
