Ubicación ideal. Lugar confortable.
Pros:

Ubicación ideal, en pleno centro de la ciudad al lado de shop street. Camas y almohadas cómodas. Instalaciones muy bonitas.

Cons:

Desayuno bastante corriente y con poca variedad. El lavabo estaba atrancado. Dejamos una nota y lo desatascaron en el mismo día. La mampara de la ducha tenía un agujero por donde se salía el agua y cada vez que nos duchabamos se salía el agua y teníamos que poner toallas en el suelo para que no se saliera más.
