Hôtel accueillant, très bien placé et confortable
Pros:

Chambre très confortable et parfaitement insonorisée, avec rideaux à la fenêtre. Literie parfaite, salle de bain fonctionnelle. Petit déjeuner très bon, bien garni, juste un regret qu'il n’y ait pas d'œufs.
Personnel très sympathique. Accueil 24h/24. Emplacement parfait en plein centre, très proche du métro et de bons restaurants.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner à partir de 8h. Etant lève tôt, on aurait aimé un peu plus tôt mais ce n’est pas pénalisant, étant proches de tout

Buena ubicación y relación calidad precio.
Pros:

La localización es genial. Muy céntrico y de fácil acceso ya que está en una plaza. Te ofrecen la opción de contratar transfer y te deja en la misma puerta. También nos gustó mucho la cama que era súper grande y pudimos dormir dos adultos y un niño, todos súper cómodos. El personal fue muy amable y cercano.

Cons:

Por decir algo, podría haber más proteína en el desayuno.
