Triste mais pas trop cher
Pros:

Bel emplacement dans la ville style mauresque

Cons:

La propreté de la chambre, vétusté de la salle de bain, odeurs désagréable dans la salle de bain à l'arrivée. A la demande de pouvoir réfrigérer une bouteille dans le frigo de l'hotel, la réponse est non car il n'y a pas de frigo. Après 21.00h entrée par une issue de secours car la réception est fermée.
