Un hotel para volver
Pros:

El hotel es muy lindo con excelente ubicación justo con salida directa o ingreso desde la estación de buses, muy buen desayuno a excepción del capuchino de máquina. Cómodo, limpio y muy confortable. La atención buena pero no te dan mucha información precisa en recepción.

Cons:

Lo único criticable es el horario de la piscina que cierra a las 6 PM cuando sería ideal los días de mucho calor esté abiertas hasta más tarde para disfrutar de regreso de una excursión

Disappointing stay as the hotel isn’t a 4* as it needs updating, cleaning and provide a better breakfast.
Pros:

Great location. Amazing views.Beautiful building. Lovely outdoor space and seating.

Cons:

Very dated. Poor breakfast. Cooked breakfast was cold. Dark brown plastic table clothes Corridors in need of a modern update and paint. Bathroom the plug holes were rusty. Had to hold the shower head. The toilet didn’t flush properly. Not the standard of a 4*hotel.
