Desagradable
Cons:

Una experiencia muy desagradable y un alojamiento que no recomendaría. La falta de limpieza e higiene era evidente y había un fuerte olor desagradable que terminaba impregnándose en la ropa. El alojamiento era extremadamente frío, con un aislamiento deficiente y una calefacción claramente insuficiente (la del baño ni funcionaba). Las sábanas y toallas tenían además un intenso olor a humo. El mobiliario estaba muy deteriorado y el colchón se encontraba en malas condiciones, haciendo difícil descansar. En general, las condiciones de higiene, confort y mantenimiento fueron inaceptables para el precio y para ofrecer una estancia mínimamente adecuada.

Great value
Pros:

Great value.

Cons:

It would be great if the fan heater in the bathroom was working. And in winter, an electric blanket would be nice. But we also appreciate that you can't have everything and still have such affordable accommodation

The bedroom was really cosy and spacious. The kitchen area was perfect for cooking a quick meal and there is a little dining area to sit. It was easy to find and check in.

The shared bathroom could have been cleaner.
