Os recomiendo huír sin mirar atrás
Pros:

Solo la ubicación.
Desayuno salvo el ruido y vistas a la cocina.

Cons:

Hotel muy ruidoso. La reforma tiene un año y está igual: ventanas que no aíslan del ruido, faltaba una cortina (casi de día por la noche en la habitación). Luz del detector de humos justo encima de la cama (horrendo). Toallero caído y toma del AC pendiente del cable. Habitación para tres pero tamaño de una single. 1 silla y 1 portamaletas y sin sitio en el armario para guardar las maletas…Sin agua de bienvenida pero sí de pago.
