Pros:

Todo me gustó. El personal un 10, amabilísimo. Las instalaciones estan muy bien, el desayuno muy completo y la situación inmejorable. Absolutamente recomendable.

Cons:

La única pega para mí es el secador de pelo, no aguanta ni un minuto y ya se calienta y se para, lo que hace muy difícil secarse el pelo.

Pros:

Great location in the centre. The staff was nice and the reception is open 24/7. The room was clean and had plenty of towels.

Cons:

The price does not match the experience. The room was sort of damp and the breakfast quite poor. You can tell the hotel is somewhat dated and so is the furniture and equipment. The hair dryer did not work properly and kept turning off every few seconds. At 6am, there was no hot water.

The location seems like a home-away-from-home. It's cozy, worm and right in the historical center.
