Pros:

Desayuno y ubicacion son buenos, te conecta con puntos turisticos importantes. Pero pasa el tren desde las 5 de la mañana y suena muy fuerte en las habitaciones del segundo piso, retumba toda la casa... independiente al hotel que estaba encantador, no pudimos tener un buen descanso.

Not a place for everyone, but if you like classic old hotels at a reasonable price it’s worth checking out.
Pros:

Very cool historical hotel.

Cons:

There is a train that runs by and blows its horn during the day.

Je m’étonne de votre référence qualitative, qui m’a conduit à l’erreur de choix
Pros:

L’emplacement et l’architecture de la maison. La gentillesse du personnel et le pdj

Cons:

Salle de bain trop petite, serviettes de toilette usées et inefficaces.
Humidité dans la chambre
Nuit écourtée car les trains passent dans la rue derrière et klaxonne à chaque fois 😤😤
C’est dommage mais c’est vraiment insupportable
De plus pas de lampe de chevet

Was pleasant and would stay again
Pros:

Great location, super charming property.
The staff was also very helpful

Cons:

The only thing I would say is be sure to pack light as there is no elevator and you have to carry everything up a couple flights of stairs. My friend I was traveling with was a bit older and I had to lug her stuff upstairs 😂
Also, floors really squeaky, but that’s to be expected in an old building such as that
