Decepcionante, abstenerse si eres escrupuloso o no estás en forma.
Pros:

La ubicación es estupenda, en plena zona histórica. La única persona que vimos los días que estuvimos fue muy amable y hablaba español.
La habitación y el baño eran amplios, la cama cómoda.

Cons:

El hotel es bonito y con encanto pero se veía todo ya muy añejo, con cosas desgastadas y estropeadas, necesitaría una buena renovación.
Además olía mal, estaba todo muy sucio, tanto la habitación como las zonas comunes, como si llevasen muchos meses sin limpiar, había mucho polvo, telarañas, moho en la ducha… No se veía movimiento y no había más personal que quien nos recibió que estuvo el tiempo justo, así que llegué a pensar que estaba cerrado desde hacía mucho y que éramos los únicos clientes que habíamos “caído”.
El acceso a la primera planta por una escalera de caracol muy estrecha puede ser realmente complicado para personas que no estén muy bien físicamente. Subir con una maleta por esa escalera es para atletas. No me quiero imaginar si hay que salir de ahí corriendo por la noche. En España, no permitirían tener abierto ese hotel simplemente por prevención de riesgos.
En mi opinión no merece las tres estrellas, no llega a hotel, como mucho pensión, y de las básicas.
Otro problema es que está en una zona peatonal, de modo que no entran los taxis, con lo que hay que llegar a pie, tirando de maletas por suelo adoquinado unos 500 metros mínimo.
