Pros:

L’hôtel est super bien placé et vraiment à proximité de tout ! Le soir les alentours sont animés donc c’est super si c’est ce qui est recherché.
Les espaces communs sont appréciés et l’accès aux machines à laver est un vrai plus, non négligeable.
Les employés sont très sympas et présent en cas de besoin.

Cons:

Les chambres sont un peu petites mais largement suffisantes pour 2.

Cons:

El olor de la habitación es horrible, el aire acondicionado funcionaba mal. El baño goteaba todo el rato y la humedad invadía la habitación. Manchas de humedad en el techo. Deja mucho que desear.
