While the room was very small, the bathroom was modern and roomy. Breakfast was good. The lift was very slow - but there was a lift! Location excellent.

Clean room, but the entrance and check in process genuinely seems so sketchy. The walls are ridiculously thin but for the price and area the room is great and clean.

Came into our room and our AC did not work. I go up to the front desk and ask for someone to check it out and he said there will be someone later that will come through. No one came at all and it was 95 degrees outside with no AC. Then i went up the next day and asked once again and he comes down to our room and says he turned it on and it was never turned on at all. Most useless workers Ive ever seen in my life especially after asking twice. I would not book here in the middle of the summer because your AC might not work!

Desayuno excelente para comenzar diariamente. Lo único es que para subir al piso 4 que es donde están las habitaciones o para subir al 7 que es donde está la recepción o para subir al 10º piso que es donde está el restaurante, solo hay un elevador y solo caben 4 personas. Si no tienes problema por esperar hasta que desocupen y tengas la suerte de subir es una buena opción. Céntrico, limpio, habitación cómoda para dormir.

ROBO

Un “hostal que te cobra (8) OCHO EUROS por guardar la maleta de equipaje por 1 hora. El check-out es a las 11 y quisimos bajar a tomar una café, comprendiendo la hora de salida lo hicimos correcto y salimos; cuando quisimos dejar la maleta se nos cobro (8) OCHO EUROS. Y como último detalle NO dan factura de esto y solo debe ser en efectivo. El robo se cuenta solo.

Lo único malo es el elevador, es pequeño, lento y viejo. Subimos a pie 7 pisos para check in, mismo que bajamos. Optamos por que subiera uno de nosotros con todas las maletas, el resto por la escalera. Muchos con el mismo problema. Luego una noche se metieron dos vagabundos a dormir en la escalera, no se querían mover. Avisamos para que los sacaran.

Hotel in posizione centrale e comodissima per visitare la città. Camere molto piccole ma funzionali, bagno altrettanto piccolo ma pratico. Le camere sono rumorosissime, senza nessun tipo di insonorizzazione. Durante il ns. soggiorno stavano imbiancando alcune stanze e le parti comuni. I lavori venivano eseguiti fino a tarda notte e a causa della mancata insonorizzazione è stato difficile riposare.
