"The room and the bathroom were clean and tidy with a small tv. We didn’t have air conditioning in our room although I noticed some of the other rooms did seem to be equipped with air conditioning. The rooms are quite basic, although ours had a balcony which was very welcome. The staff are helpful, the location is safe and very close to the train and funicular stations."
