Good location, thin walls are off putting
Pros:

Friendly staff who were happy to help with any question and had a strong knowledge of the area. Good location, room was spacious, nice tea and coffee station, well stocked mini bar. Bathroom was nice and modern.

Cons:

Very very thin walls. One couple kept us up for over 12 hours. Kept knocking on our door and being overly loud. When we spoke to the staff about it the next day they offered very little help. Bed mattress was thin and soft, room was constantly warm, having a fan and the windows open didn't help.

We only had two big towels and one small towel provided. Towel rail was rusty.

Not a lot of draw space and hangers. There was a large gap under our door as well so there was constant noise.

Pros:

Muy céntrico, cama muy cómoda y muy limpio. Además decoración muy bonita, minibar lleno ( aunque no lo use ) y muchos snacks. Además de máquina de café.

Cons:

Se oye absolutamente TODO y habían muchas parejas haciendo ruido, lo cual fue muy molesto. Por lo tanto, no apto para viajar con niños.
