Pros:

El.trato personalizado y la atención de Fabrizio

Cons:

Casi nada, pero la ubicación es céntrica y hay una disco de chiquillos cerca lo que hace que veas borrachos en la noche o madrugada. Y a veces hay peleas en la puerta. Pero ya el hotel no tiene mucho que ver

Great location, helpful staff and lovely place to stay
Pros:

The location of the property and the breakfast they provided was excellent! The hotel was very clean. They were nice enough to let us check out an hour later.

Cons:

Because there are 3 floors and factoring in the altitude, it’s difficult lugging up suitcases up 4 flights of stairs so I think hotel needs an elevator.
