Todo perfecto, volveríamos!
Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó es el servicio de la señora que nos atendió. Súper amable en todo momento y detallista. Nos subió hasta las mochilas y siempre nos saludaba y estaba atenta a todo. Ella hizo la diferencia, millones de gracias por todo. Además, súper limpio y cuidado. Habitaciones súper altas, limpias uy colchón muy cómodo. Súper céntrico y recomendable.

Foi a primeira e não será a última vez que ficarei alojada aqui!
Pros:

Tudo estava bom! O quarto era amplo e acolhedor, muito bem limpo e higienizado! A Dona Rosa muito simpática, amável e sempre disposta a ajudar!

Cons:

Apenas o código do quarto que por vezes era um pouco complicado de colocar para abrir, mas com calma e paciência tudo resultou!

Central but poor facilities
Pros:

Location was very central. The cleaning lady Rosa was lovely and did her best. She cleaned the rooms everyday.

Cons:

The rooms were shabby and poorly decorated. On the first night one of the rooms given had a door that did not close and there was no receptionist on duty. We had to sleep with the door not secured. The headboards on the beds were peeling so if you sat against them the backing flaked off into your hair or on your clothes. The pictures of this place were misleading, it is not a Hotel. It is at best one step above a hostel.

Bra läge!
Pros:

Bra läge, prisvärt men med tanke på facilteter så förstår man priset, då vi ändå inte var på rummet mer än när vi sov.

Cons:

Man får vad man betalar för, men sänggavlarna i alla fall i det rum som vi sov i skulle med fördel kunna tas bort eller bytas när det var väldigt ofräscht.
