Buen hotel pero en zona insegura
Pros:

El hotel está limpio, el personal excelente. Algunos puntos de las instalacuones necesitan cuidado.

Cons:

La ubicación, definitivamente no recomiendo este hotel para familias. Esta ubicado en una zona con acceso muuuuy complicado durante el día y por la noche está muy solo y oscuro. La zona es relativamente peligrosa, al llegar había una pelea, por la tarde otra y cuando llegue por la noche, de nuevo otra pelea.

Pros:

Spotlessly clean. Helpful and kind staff. Windows do isolate quite well from outdoor noise.

Cons:

It is placed in one of these busy merchants streets, so you cannot expect peace during the day.
