Pros:

Muy buena ubicación. Eso es lo mejor y alrededor de todo.

Cons:

Desayuno muy básico sin cosas como aceite de oliva o jamón de york. Creo q por el precio no es razonable. La tercera cama era de postin y muy mala.

Pros:

The location of the hotel is excellent. Near to city center, railway station and bus station.

Cons:

We stayed for six nights and had an overall pleasant experience. However, the breakfast selection could be more varied. For example, it would be nice to have some cheese and vegetables.
