Hotel pas du tout à la hauteur
Pros:

L'emplacement central

Cons:

Ce n'était pas propre une des deux chambres réservées était moisie avec une odeur insupportable d'humidité, nous avons du la changer. Dans l'autre chambre aussi nous avons eu énormément d'humidité, plein d'insectes (des termites je pense), il n'y a aucune aération possible. L'ascenseur ne marchait pas alors qu'on était au 5eme étage. Et le petit dejeuner était vraiment nul, pas bon et quasiment aucun choix à 9h du matin. Vraiment une mauvaise expérience. Nous sommes tres déçus car nous faisons d'habitude confiance à Booking depuis des annees.

Pros:

Lo céntrico, seguro y amabilidad del personal

Cons:

Le falta mantenimiento a algunas partes de las instalaciones: la tapa del baño, estaba quebrada y se safaba, un toma corriente del refrigerador tenía la tapa quebrada, por lo que el conector estaba directo al toma.

Ubicación ideal, con un personal amabilísimo.
Pros:

Elegí este hotel por los comentarios tan positivos sobre el personal y superó mis expectativas. Muy amables, sonrientes, disponibles, colaboradores... Soy una adulta mayor (77) con problemas de movilidad y estuvieron muy pendientes de mi condición.

Cons:

Les sugeriría poner una barra de seguridad en el baño de la habitación que reserven para adultos mayores y asegurarse de que no hay fugas de agua que humedezcan el piso.

Aceptable
Pros:

La ubicación y buena disposición del personal

Cons:

Tuvimos que pasar por 3 habitaciones, todas con olor a madera humeda guardada. En las dos primeras fallaba el teléfono de habitación, en una el aire y la bombilla. El ascensor no funcionó ningún día. Al final, la última habitación algo decente aunque el olor menos fuerte pero persistía.
