Maravilloso para escapada a Santiago
Pros:

Hotel súper céntrico.
La habitación estaba fenomenal y la cama muy cómoda. El baño y la ducha muy bien también.
Todo muy limpio y ofrecen una cápsula de café como bienvenida.
Me di un masaje y genial.
El personal ambilísimo, muy cercanos y te ayudan con cualquier duda.
Repetiría.

Cons:

Por decir algo, se oye un poco el ruido de la calle en el silencio de la noche pero bien es cierto que está en el centro.

Oase van rust !
Pros:

De locatie was top! Personeel heel vriendelijk. Ik moest tijdens de nacht uit checken en dat was geen enkel probleem voor hun. De man heeft mij zo goed geholpen. Enorm hartverwarmend ! Echt Camiño spirit. Ik zou hier echt nog naar teruggaan.

Cons:

Niks! Ik heb een huisstofmijt allergie dus mss nog een beetje meer ontstoffen. Maar daar kunnen hun niks aan doen.
