Pros:

The location was the best.

Cons:

For the price I expected much higher standard. This is the most expensive hotel I have stayed on, and the price did not by far valued the money. Small, old rooms. The bathroom was very small and old. The breakfast was ok but not more.

Pros:

L’esmorzar i l’aproximitat al centre.

Cons:

L’habitació no correspont al preu. S’hauria de renovar. No hi ha endolls ni interruptors al costat del llit. Han posat regletes perquè puguis endollar diversos aparells electrònics. El secador és vell i amb poca potència. El matalàs no era molt confortable.

This hotel worked well, It was clean, and well situated for bus transportation.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent. There was a wide variety of choices. The coffee was very good. I was very large and well equipped. It looked brand new. I do wish that it was open earlier than 7:00am.

Cons:

The take away breakfast. I think that most that asked for a take away breakfast was because they had to catch a plane. The sandwich and apple are allowable, but not the juice or yougurt. It would also be nice if coffee was available earlier and even all the time. Yes, there is a heated water pot in the room but it was only for instant coffee.
