Pros:

Localización y servicio fantásticos y la habitación era cómoda y bonita.

Cons:

No me gustó que el aire acondicionado esté situado directamente mirando a la cama. Sin el aire acondicionado no se podía dormir porque coincidió con una ola de calor, y con el aire puesto terminabas con una pulmonía

Everything was perfect only for the €50 charge for the extra hour this morning.
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent. The location was brilliant.

Cons:

We booked the night for my aunts 80th birthday. As checkout was 11.00 am I asked for an extra hour for her. I was charged €50. As there was no sign of the housekeeping staff on our floor even when we were checking out I thought this was mean. We had lunch, dinner & drinks & left a generous tip.
