Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report serious cleanliness issues (sucio, cucarachas, manchas de sangre en la bajera, agua de ducha marrón) and humidity; a minority praised cleanliness but overall sentiment is negative.
Service
10
Consistently praised: staff described as amable, atento y servicial (recepcionistas destacadas, ayuda ofrecida ante problemas de agua); service is one of the strongest aspects.
Location
10
Very frequent positive mentions: 'ubicación excelente', 'cerca del centro', 'bien situado' — location is a clear strength across languages and reviews.
Room Quality
7
Mixed but leaning negative: reports of old furniture, baños viejos, moqueta, humedad en paredes, camas pequeñas o ruidosas and thin walls leading to noise between rooms.
Amenities
6.2
Several guests note missing or inadequate amenities (ausencia de frigo, sin horno/oven/freezer for heating food, no parking, pequeña papelera) and antiquated boilers; amenities are below expectations.
Value for Money
9.2
Several comments explicitly state 'bon rapport qualité prix' or good value; despite facility shortcomings many guests consider the price justified by location and service.
Food and Beverage
8
Few mentions: breakfast timing noted as 'a bit late' by one reviewer; no on-site oven/freezer reported by guests wanting to heat food — limited comments but no major negative reports about food quality.
Overall Experience
8
Mixed overall: strong positives for location and staff, but consistent problems with cleanliness, occasional hot water issues and dated facilities. Many guests would recommend for short city stays if prioritizing location and service.

Great value for the location and cleanliness
Pros:

Close to center of town , clean and the girl at check in was great

Cons:

The pillows were not good , flat as a board would recommend to bring your own . The property is located in center of town which can be noisy due to the bars in the area . But if the windows are closed and the air conditioner is on the noise becomes minimal.

Muy mala elección
Pros:

La chica que nos atendió fue super amable

Cons:

Que pena que haya sido lo único que esté lugar nos dio. La cama era mas fina que un papel de fumar y las almohadas un tanto de lo mismo, que mal cuando a la mañana nos dimos cuenta de que las sabanas estaban sucias y no de algo con un color bueno... El baño muy antiguo, se salía el agua del lavabo y la bañera tenía grietas, ponía que la habitación era hipoalergénica y para nada aparte de tener una moqueta con manchas, las sabanas tenían olor a colonia o un suavizante de ropa muy fuerte.
Podrían dejar de promocionar el spa como si fuera parte del hotel ya que no tiene nada que ver con el, no se a mí manera de entenderlo es publicidad engañosa.

Fiquei bastante desiludido
Pros:

Gostei dos funcionários muito prestáveis

Cons:

O quarto não era agradável, tive de ir pedir para mudar toalhas porque tinha pelos, uma das camas fazia buraco e foi horrível para dormir, a banheira nem para uma pessoa da acho que podiam fazer melhoras para o preço que metem!

Bien
Pros:

Seconde fois dans l’hôtel depuis l’année dernière et les vacances de Mai. Même chambre. Hotel bien situé centre ville le seul problème de l’emplacement est l’absence de parking. Notre chambre etait au premier etage avec 2 chambres. Lits peu large je dirai moins que 140 a deux nous étions serrés. Points négatifs est l’absence d’un petit frigo ou un extérieur type balcon pour faire sécher ou aérer nos vêtements et la toute petite poubelle insuffisante lorsqu’on voyage avec des enfants qui portent encore des couches. Sinon bon rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

Absence parking
Absence balcon
Absence frigo
Lits petits en hauteur et largeur pour des adultes

Pros:

Personal amable, muy bien situado, cumple las expectativas de hotel urbano para conocer la ciudad

Cons:

Nada reseñable como negativo, lo único que no es facil aparcar al lado del hotel, pero a 5 minutos caminando, si encuentras.
