"Great hotel, amazing location. "

Center Suite Acebedos

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, big room, nice staff. Residential neighborhood so a 10 minute walk to the center. Not in the heart of things and no lobby as it is kind of an "apart-hotel" but the size, cleanliness and price made it a pleasant, memorable stay. Staff was super kind and welcoming. Note that there is not a 24 hour front desk but access and check in was super easy. "
