Günstiges Hotel , Standart: Uralt, Badezimmer heruntergekommen, aber für eine Nacht, machbar.
Pros:

Preisleistung

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sehr runtergekommen. Das Badezimmer war in einem wirklich ekligen schrecklichen Zustand. Heutiger Standard sollte nicht so sein auch wenn es ein günstiges Hotel ist, gibt es auch die günstiger sind und der Standard ist schön.

Hotel cerca estación. Buen precio
Pros:

El hotel está muy céntrico, apenas a una calle de la estación y unos 10-15 min. caminando al centro de la ciudad.
Tiene el check-in y check-out automático, muy fácil para acceder a las habitaciones.
La habitación estaba correctamente equipada.

Cons:

Las camas y las instalaciones eran antiguas, pero correcto para el precio que pagamos.

Pros:

Location
Price
We were there for just the night so it was okay, all the amenities were there.

Cons:

The elevator was super small, we had a hard time with our stroller which is the smallest size possible to fit in there.
Also our room had a flight of stairs after the elevator ride, which we were not aware of. We had a big bag and the stroller to carry to reach our room, we probably would not have booked if we knew about the stairs.
