Pros:

A quirky little hotel but very basic. The location was ok and felt safe for us. No coffee machine in the room. Although we booked for 2 adults and a child we just had one bed. But the room was clean and spacious.

Cons:

Staff a little miserable, very strange smell throughout the hotel and very noisy on a weekend as there is a bar right next to the hotel so was disturbed until early hours

Struttura datata
Pros:

Stanze spaziose e posizione comoda per girare LA.

Cons:

La struttura e le stanze sono datate e hanno un odore forte e sgradevole inoltre la pulizia non era buona. Il condizionatore è rumoroso. Il parcheggio è a pagamento.

All in all! Very nice hotel.
Pros:

The room had everything we needed. The restaurant downstairs and the cafe on the corner was wonderful.

Cons:

We arrived early hoping to leave our bags onto see if our room was ready early but the front counter staff member was not very friendly.

Tutto ok
Pros:

Camera spaziosa, deposito bagagli molto utile sia per check in che check out

Cons:

Se non hai la camera al tuo arrivo o prima di andare via, andare in bagno é complicato (non esiste un bagno dedicato alla clientela che non soggiorna)

It was fair price for me, but I booked several months in advance
Pros:

I was able to book it for a reasonable price. The local area is quiet, there is a cafe near the hotel for a morning coffee. Their parking is reasonably priced and very convenient. Overall clean places.

Cons:

The room is basic and does not provide many amenities. Unfortunately no kettle or coffee machine in the room. The clean ladies are doing great job, but the overall old room affect it all. The road is pretty loud and may interrupt your sleep as windows are not noise cancelling.

Muy bien
Pros:

La amabilidad de los trabajadores, tanto en recepción como los housekeepers, y que en el propio hotel había un bar abierto al público muy concurrido que le añadía muy buen ambiente. Aunque la estrella del hotel es el que gestiona el parking, juraría que se llamaba Miguel. Muy buen hombre.

Cons:

Todo estuvo bien.

Très bien
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien, de même pour la chambre. La décoration est un peu vieillissante mais c’est dans le thème et c’est propre.
Il est possible de garer sa voiture à l’hôtel moyennant un supplément.
Il y a un restaurant à l’hôtel sinon dans un rayon de 15min à pieds

The place on the corner for coffee & pastries 🥐
love the coffee and fresh pastries, cakes delicious

Cons:

I hate to write anything negative I love this hotel but, if I could change one thing it would be the pillows that are made of some kind of plastic material the pillowcases slip off the pillows all the time, there not very comfortable

Pros:

Posto molto carino, struttura storica. Letto comodo, ogni giorno lasciavano bottiglie d'acqua

Cons:

Personale un po freddo, l'unico che ci ha accolto veramente è stato il ragazzo che si occupava sel parcheggio. La stanza era un po' troppo piccola

Ok for your money.
Pros:

Let’s say it is an iconic buliding, almost 100 years old.

Cons:

Well, nobody talks about the noise.
On 1 side it is a very noisy road, on the other (silent side) there is a bar. Which is open till midnight.
We were really tired so with earplugs it was ok, but still it is a factor.

Pros:

Sehr sehr kleines aber gutes Zimmer. Lage war für uns perfekt da wir endlich weg von den Obdachlosen waren die zum Teil randaliert haben. Das hat man hier nicht weil die Gegend besser ist.
