All in all a really nice hotel for a short stay, except the breakfast
Pros:

Daniela was extremely friendly, an real angel. Rooms were small but clean and the bed comfy.

Cons:

The breakfast was not very nice. Eg. apples very dirty, yogurt, cheese, salami etc. not cooled. Coffee of bad quality. Scrambled eggs cold. Just beside the breakfast room (in the same building), there is a wonderful cafeteria with tasty bakery!

Great staff.
Pros:

Staff went above and beyond and we cannot thank Daniela enough for her help with making arrangements with our baggage.

Cons:

The rooms need a good clean. The rooms/hotel smell musty - like damp carpet.

Bueno, bonito, barato, pero mejorable.
Pros:

El desayuno es un punto bajo en el hotel. Exceso de huevos duros y sin oferta explícita de otras formas de servirlo. Por suerte me di cuenta que si uno lo pedía había otras maneras de servir los huevos, pero se podría ofrecer más explícitamente. El domingo el desayuno muy atrasado. Se supone parte a las 7:00, pero esta vez eran las 7:45 y no había pan fresco, poca fruta (fue llegando después). Faltó planificación.

Cons:

Desayuno
