Buena ubicación, desayuno mejorable.
Pros:

La ubicación excelente, muy cerca del centro.

Cons:

El desayuno regular, el café de mala calidad, poca variedad de fruta y fiambres. Los huevos revueltos

Cómodo y acogedor
Pros:

Personal muy amable.
Buena localización. Nosotros aparcamos fácilmente en las inmediaciones.
Habitación tirando a pequeña pero acogedora y con camas cómodas.
Baño grande.
Piscina en la azotea en la que sería genial que hubiera tumbonas.
Desayuno correcto.

Cons:

La habitación necesita un poco más de mantenimiento. Por ejemplo, el colgador de las toallas estaba pegado a la pared y se cayó, la encimera del baño estaba rajada.
Se oye el ruido del pasillo.
