Pros:

El alojamiento tiene buena comunicación con el metro para ir al aeropuerto y buena ubicación en la ciudad

Cons:

El baño estaba limpio pero habían unas manchas que daba la sensación de sucio y quedaba mal. Si lo pintaran daría mejor sensación.

Pros:

Сам отель небольшой. Входная группа красивая.До набережной пешком- минут 20-25.Рядом торговый центр Via Catarina, рынок.
В комнате нет ни холодильника, ни чайника, ни кружек. Но, по запросу , мне дали чайник и кружечку. Спасибо. Я жила на 1 этаже : окна выходят на бетонную стену . В комнате было холодно. Белье чистое.
Завтраки скромные: круассан, хлеб , сырная, колбасная нарезка одного вида, мюсли, йогурт, фрукты.

Cons:

В целом, все ок. Только очень темно. В комнате не хватает освещения
