Para pasar la noche y nada más
Pros:

Nada.

Cons:

Instalaciones antiguas o mal cuidadas.
El cuartito de baño super estrecho y para hacer tus necesidades hay q hacerlo de lado, mo te caben las piernas.
Tampoco soy un gigante 182cm.
Para ir a la ría tienes unos 20 minutos andando.
Aunque si es agradable el paseo pues pasas por grandes y comerciales avenidas.

Estancia corta en pareja
Pros:

Estaba cerca estacion tren zabalburu y a unos 25 minutos del casco viejo, unos 15 del centro gran via y supermercados cerca, el personal muy atento.

Cons:

Las instalaciones un poco viejas, baño muy pequeño, limpieza regular pero la más importante para mi que es las camas si estaban muy bien, el olor a moqueta para mi desagradable. Lugar para pasar una noche u dos.

Pros:

Not much, overall a clean room with promised amenities and that's about it.

Cons:

While we were getting out of the garage with our motorcycles, we believe that someone irresponsibly decided to close the garage gate which caused us to drop one of the bikes on our way out having slight damage. And no one took responsibility for it unfortunately.

Other than that, the room was very loud. Because the soundproofing is non-existent between rooms. Hence we had to listen to the dude speaking on the phone until 1am, which caused us to have a bad sleep. No one warned anyone about keeping it a bit down noise wise at all thru the night. So I believe if you are a person that would make noise rather than have a good night's sleep than it's a good option.

Bon séjour
Pros:

Bon emplacement pour visiter la ville , accueil très sympathique, qualité du petit déjeuner en rapport avec le prix très raisonnable, avons apprécié l'accès au parking de l'hotel à un prix plus doux que celui des parkings publics.

Cons:

Le bruit dans l'Hotel qui est mal isolé phoniquement et la difficulté à obtenir de l'eau chaude dans la salle de bain ce qui n'est pas bon pour limiter la consommation d'eau.
