Lugar acogedor y práctico
Pros:

La persona que nos recibió fue super amable, la habitación era muy bonita y con todos los servicios, la ubicación muy buena y en una zona bastante tranquila

Cons:

La verdad que no puedo poner pegas, quizá el tipo de cama que tiene la base de madera y no hay mucho espacio y algñun golpe en la espinilla nos llevamos...

Caro y sin servicios
Pros:

Ubicación. Zona tranquila y a 15 min andando del centro

Cons:

No es un hotel, es una casa de huéspedes. No tiene ningún servicio de hotel, en recepción nunca hay nadie, de hecho llegaron huéspedes nuevos y como nadie les abria nos estuvieron hablando por la ventana. Nos dieron la habitación de la planta de la entrada justo pegada al mostrador y a las escaleras, se escuchaba absolutamente todo. La luz de la recepción esta 24h encendida y entra completamente por la habitación

Pleasant and unique stay, great price-quality!
Pros:

Very beautiful and unique venue. Lovely staff and great room amenities!

Cons:

Need to walk for a moment to the closest metro, also sounds carry well from the hallway and rooms upstairs. This didn’t bother too much as other guests were very peaceful.

We stayed on the bottom floor, and unfortunately, there was some mold in the bathroom and living room window shades.
