The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful.
Pros:

The hotel is located in a building dating back to 1902, and the interior retains almost its original period décor, including beautiful lamps in the dining room and common room. The hotel has an old and beautifully maintained garden. For those who enjoy such properties with a touch of nostalgia, it's worth a visit.

Don't come to this "hostel-hotel"
Pros:

No me ha gustado nada de mi estancia

Cons:

Cerca de 40€ por noche y a compartir baño. Ni siquiera tenía tv en la habitación. Habitación muy antigua. Wifi muy malo Tras quejarme me facilitaron una habitación con baño privado y una tv. Durante mi estancia el hotel estaba casi vacío. No me extraña.

Overall I would stay there again just not in the backpacker room.
Pros:

The breakfast was okay.
Room was clean and it’s in the city center very convenient as it’s close to restaurants and a main shop.
The room I upgraded to was cozy and private with its own en-suite bathroom and a mini fridge.
The backpacker I first stayed in was reasonable for a room for one person with its own basin and the bed was comfy.

Cons:

They didn’t do room service during the course of my stay there even after an enquiry about it which resulted in flies and ants being in my room and bin overflowing with trash. The backpacker had a communal bathroom and toilet area that also came with a fridge within the toilet/bathroom area which was weird and a bit inconvenient.

Good, but could be better.
Pros:

The room was clean, neat and very comfortable.

Cons:

The basin in the bathroom had a drain that was non-functional. Reported it to reception, but nothing was done. So I struggled to brush my teeth and wash my hands throughout my stay.
