Best stay
Pros:

All exceptionally good..

Cons:

ALL GOOD..

Suggestion only.
~should add luggage weigh machine..
~coffee should be checked and cookies added at reception. It will cost little but add value.
~breakfast Manu should change 30% of it daily.
~picture of room on website looks a small room but actually it's a comfortable size.. upload another pic from a distance..

Muy buena opción en pleno centro
Pros:

La experiencia fue fantástica, en pleno centro de la ciudad, nos movimos a pie en todo momento. La habitación limpia, con un tamaño correcto, amenities en el baño, y pequeña cocina con microondas. Balcón para comer/cenar muy agradable. El desayuno, incluido, es correcto también. Todo el personal agradable.
