Very poor hygiene conditions
Pros:

The location as it was close to the city centre

Cons:

The accommodation was in very poor and unsanitary condition, posing a risk to health and safety.
The actual state of the property did not match the description or photos shown on the platform, which constitutes a serious breach of the service provided.
I was forced to remain at the hotel only because there were no affordable alternative accommodations available in the area. The place was smelly, we found bedbugs, chewing gums and snots in the room. The 2 out of the 3 sheets had stains, furthermore the mattress was uncomfortable and also had stains (money). The towels provided and the shower were dirty and it had strong smell. I also asked 3 times for a hairdryer and the owner constantly said “a customer has it.

Due to the severity of the hygiene and maintenance issues, the stay was not fit for purpose.

Pros:

La ubicación era lo único bueno del lugar.
El personal amable

Cons:

La limpieza, lamentablemente la limpieza parecía que no existía, camas sucias, con manchas, incluso el colchón debajo de la sábana tenía pequeñas pelotas negras que hasta el momento desconocemos que eran.
El alojamiento queda perfecto para pasar una noche o dos como máximo, para un fin de semana completo no lo recomiendo.
