Cidade fantástica apesar de alguns problemas.
Pros:

Hotel bem localizado, próximo aos principais pontos de interesse. Pessoal gentil e atencioso. Cama confortável.

Cons:

Banheiro com pouco privacidade e ducha ruim, mal instalada, a qual sempre desmontava, aparentando ter sido trocada da original. Ar condicionado barulhento o qual tivemos que desligar a noite para poder dormir.

Cons:

Too far from the paid parking lot, air conditioner is regulated by the hotel you can not do your own sept up. They gave me the pigeon loft. Where I had to bend to avoid hitting my head.

Fabulous repeat stay!
Pros:

Everything! Fourth stay and always same quality and value. Right on the Camino in the old town, easy walk everywhere. Good value for old town in a small, old palace. Everyone at reception excellent and happy to make great suggestions. No restaurant or breakfast, but there is a lovely new coffee, fresh juice and tostada place next alley down on right, one minute away. 3 Cafes. Ask for a bigger room.😊

Cons:

All great! Tiny detail, the conditioner bottle had been removed from shower.
