Pros:

Het uitzicht

Cons:

Geen toegang voor mensen in rolstoelen of die heel slecht ter been zijn want er is geen lift en alleen maar trappen. Omdat mijn vrouw Parkinson heeft was dit hotel voor ons geen optie en moesten we vertrekken naar een ander hotel. Echt balen!! Had dit ook aan Booking.com gemeld maar heb nog steeds geen bericht ontvangen hierover. ):

Stunning luxury after the Camino
Pros:

Stunning and amazing value. It felt like luxury after the Camino walk. It's a bit tough to find, hidden in the old fort, but once you're there the views are amazing, the room is huge, and the bathtub is inviting. Breakfast was over-the-top amazing, with traditional food as well as scrambled eggs and fresh juice. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Hotel viejo y sucio muy abandonado, es una pena…
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Encontramos arañas muy grandes y mucha suciedad. Además se bloqueó la puerta del baño. Se ofrecieron incluso a devolvernos el dinero pero luego no quisieron hacerlo
