Abit pricey for what you get
Pros:

In CBD- friendly staff

Cons:

Abit low budget for the price- walls in room were dirty and very noisy- maybe because there was on going work next door ..

The staff were the only reason i scored it this high
Pros:

The staff were excellent. So helpful and friendly. They are really the only reason I scored this hotel this high. Also the bed was clean and comfortable. Beds and bathroom were cleaned well

Cons:

The furniture looked like it had been picked up from the side of the road. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel with such bad furniture. I didn’t want sit on anything because it all looked so grubby. Also there was only really the plug socket by the kitchen area. The curtains weren’t big enough so it was either a gap in the middle or either end.

Pros:

La cuina estava ben equipada. El personal de recepció va ser atent i resolutiu amb un petit problema que vam tenir.

Cons:

Mobiliari antic que ja cal renovar. Hi havia taques al sofà que feien bastant fàstic. A la moqueta també li toca renovació, amb taques i un olor característic que indica que ja ho ha donat tot.
