Una maña experiencia
Pros:

Diría que nada. Sólo el personal muy amable

Cons:

Tienen obras en la calle y no se puede llegar con el coche. Empiezan a las 6:30 a hacer ruido. No te avisan para no perder las reservas. Las habitaciones necesitan una remodelación y el desayuno es muy pobre

Cet hôtel est sympathique et efficace.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié la proximité avec la gare, le calme, la gentillesse et la prévenance du personnel.
La chambre était propre et proposait une literie confortable.
Nous n'avons pas pris le petit déjeuner sur place donc nous ne pourrons rien dire dessus.

Pros:

Perfect position. Check in and check out very quick.

Cons:

Single “superior” Room was quite small, not perfectly cleaned. Smelled like “old”, maybe it’s not used really often… Curtains were too short and there was too much light at night.
