Las instalaciones del Hotel no están mal un poco antiguas, pero vuelvo a decir el restaurante dejaba bastante que desear
Pros:

Habitación limpia, baño amplio y poco ruido

Cons:

De alojamiento en C no estuvo mal lo que es bastante malo y deja bastante que desear es el Restaurante caro calidad baja tirando a media y tardan demasiado en servirte con solamente cuatro mesas ocupadas cuando tienen 12 o 13 mesas

Little gem for this price
Pros:

For this price you get a spacious room. The double bed and bathroom are in good condition. The next door restaurant serves a good burger meal (or if you like junk food, there is a BK 50 meter further). Parking lots in front of the door are guarded by cameras. Staff is friendly and speaks English.

Agridulce
Pros:

La ubicación y el trato del personal.

Cons:

La pobre chica de recepción. O sabía como funcionaba la reserva de Booking que ya se me había cobrado por la app, y me la volvió a cobrar, luego hizo devolución después de hacer una llamada.
En el baño habían pelos en la ducha. Cosa que no tiene nada que ver con el precio y el trato.
