Lejos de todo. Busca otro
Pros:

Cómodo es. En precio... no

Cons:

Se comenta que está cerca del centro... si 25 minutos cuesta arriba es cerca... entonces si.

No nos informaron del la existencia de un metro cercano. Tampoco pregunté...culpa mia

La habitación la arreglaron por la tarde, por lo que fue imposible descansar 5 min a medio dia.

Este hotel, equivaldria a un 2 estrellas español. No hay nevera para mi medicación

Las fotos de la habitación...muy, muy bien retocadas

Si por este alojamiento hubiera pagado 50 o 60 euros por noche, no diría nada. Pero pagué mas de 80 por noche y persona y no es equilibrado

Pros:

רק את המיקום שהוא מרכזי ומעולה ושיהיה מזגן עובד בחדר

Cons:

כשהגענו קיבלנו חדר שלא ניקו אותו עם חפצים של אורח קודם
לא אהבתי את הריח במלון,ריח של ישן ולא מאוורר
החדר החדש שקיבלנו לא היה מבריק כפי שמצופה
ארוחת בוקר קצת דלה
