Great place to sleep if you are catching an early train - clean and friendly.
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel because it's right next to the train station and I had an early train to catch in the morning. Super clean hotel with a nice front desk staff. Excellent breakfast that is put out VERY early in the morning - convenient as my train was quite early! My room was tucked into the back of the hotel with a small window that looked out onto a narrow ventilation shaft. As I was really just there to sleep it didn't matter to me at all. The room was dark at night and I slept great! Huge shower, big bed, exceptionally clean.

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great.

Hotel correcto, bien ubicado, limpio y bien atendido.
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal de recepción. La ubicación aunque no es perfecta, resulta cómoda ya que en apenas 5 minutos a pie es posible entrar al casco histórico. A menos de 5 minutos a pie está la estación de tren, y el parking de A Rosa. La limpieza fue correcta. El desayuno es variado y adecuado.

Cons:

Las instalaciones, aunque modernas, tienen algunas limitaciones para quienes como nosotros viajamos con un carrito de bebé, y en consecuencia también para quienes tengan movilidad reducida. Para acceder a la cafetería hay que bajar un par de escalones, y no hay rampa de accesibilidad. El ascensor (solo hay uno) resulta algo pequeño, aunque entiendo que debe entrar perfectamente una silla de ruedas ya que pudimos acceder con el carrito del bebé. Las habitaciones no tienen buena insonorización, se escucha todo de los vecinos anexos.
