Много добро
Pros:

Много добра закуска - пресния портокалов сок беше много приятна изненада.
Отлично местоположение - всичко беше на пешеходно разстояние.
На рецепция бяха много любезни от всички смени.
Чистотата беше добра.

Cons:

Може да допълнят закуската с варени яйца и краставички.Препоръка - да има достъп до кафе и чай в лобито на хотела от гостите по всяко едно време.
Можеха да сменят кърпите поне веднъж за престоя. Добра опция е да се помисли за купичка за сапуна, за да не се слага в свободно състояние на плота.

Very comfortable stay
Pros:

The location is excellent, it is located a 2 minute walk from a metro station and from the Plaza Puerta del Sol. It is a short distance from many tourist attractions, restaurants and shops meaning that I could walk everywhere and barely used the metro during my stay. The room was very clean and had everything I needed.
