Adequate lodging wouldn't stay again
Pros:

I was near the amenities block whilst convenient it did become noisy during the stay,

Cons:

I didn't like that the carparking facility closed at 8pm and didn't reopen till 8am, If I took my car out I could bring it back inside to a secure area. I would have to leave it on the street. I was forced to use Ubers everywhere.

Very convenient, accessible and good value.
Cons:

Showers take a long time to heat up, which wastes water. Probably can't be helped though: it's probably height from the water heater.

Cons:

The property called 48 hours before to cancel the booking as they said they had failed to complete renovations in time and the room was unavailable. This forced me to find alternative accommodation at short notice and considerable expense. I was told on the phone I would receive an email form the manager to discuss compensation but I have heard nothing. Likewise I was told the booking would be cancelled via booking.com and I would receive a refund but this hasn’t happened either. Both the last minute cancellation and lack of support since are unacceptable. Do not book this property.

HABITACIÓN CON CHINCHES, CUIDADO!
Pros:

No me gustó nada

Cons:

The cleanliness has a lot to improve. ROOM 301 had a lot of bedbugs!!!!!!!!!, I booked for one night because of the proximity to the airport and I couldn't sleep at all! When I called the contact phone no one answered and there was no one at the reception. YOU'D BETTER LOOK FOR ANOTHER ACCOMMODATION! And if you already made the reservation ... check the bed on your arrival, the blanket on the bed had a lot of bedbugs! And claim it while there is a receptionist! I filed a complaint through Booking ... places like this should not even be advertised on platforms!

There is ONLY a bathroom and a shower to share with more than 10 rooms even if it is only for women... and there is another one for men seems little to me. A disgusting place! I don't even recommend it to my worst enemy... €60 for the piece of shit!

La limpieza mucho que mejorar. LA HABITACIÓN 301 tenía muchas chinches!!!!!!!!!, reservé para una noche por la cercanía al aeropuerto y no pude dormir nada ! Cuando llamé al teléfono de contacto nadie contestó y no había nadie en recepción. SERÁ MEJOR QUE BUSQUES OTRO ALOJAMIENTO! Y si ya hiciste la reserva …revisa en tu llegada la cama, la manta sobre la cama tenia muchas chinches! Y reclamarlo mientras que haya recepcionista! Puse una queja a través de Booking …lugares así no deberían ni estar anunciados en plataformas !
SOLO hay un baño y una ducha para compartir con más de 10 habitaciones aún que solo sea para mujeres… y haya otro para hombres me parece poco. Un lugar asqueroso! No lo recomiendo ni a mi peor enemigo… 60€ para la pedazo de mierda
