Estancia muy agradable. Personal profesional y atento.
Pros:

Las habitaciones eran amplias, con camas cómodas y personal atento y profesional . Todo fue correcto y según lo contratado. Preguntamos donde comer y nos dieron una referencia cerca del hotel, en un centro comercial, que nos gustó bastante. La parada del metro estaba a la vuelta del hotel. El río esta cerca, y hay un paseo junto a la orilla muy agradable.

Cons:

El fin de semana había mucha gente. Para ir caminando hasta el centro está un poquito retirado.
