Convenient and cheerful!!!

The hotel is ideally located from the old city center and castle. The staff was cheerful and very helpful. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean and well maintained. It’s very convenient and affordable. The beds are very hard.

Ok

Receptionist was very friendly and checked us in quickly. Room was very clean, the smell of the clean sheets met us. Beds were very uncomfortable. We stayed as a couple but it was two single beds pushed together. Room was clean but dated.

Good hotel very close to the historic centre. But the room was very hot and without a working a/c. Also, if you hope to have a restful night, look elsewhere. We had to leave the window open to try to cool the room and street noise continued until 3am. Noise from within the hotel continued well past this.

La habitación tenía las toallas raídas, el papel sanitario a la mitad, las cortinas se ven sucias y también el cubrecama. Pedimos habitación matrimonial previamente pero al llegar nos dicen que están todas ocupadas. La chica de la recepción sí fue muy amable, pero las instalaciones están envejecidas así como los amenities

Very nice, but way too hot for me

Nice people, nice room, but air conditioning didn’t work and my room was like an oven. I could not sleep. Breakfast was meagre a coffee, a juice and a croissant but it only cost 4.70 euros. Everything was lovely, just a shame that the roasting room spoilt the stay

Máxima puntuación, muy recomendable.

Sin duda la máxima nota. La ubicación es fantástica, muy cerca del casco histórico, con muchas opciones de restauración y con sitio para aparcar. El personal es muy amable, atento y profesional. Todo muy limpio y renovado. La cama era muy cómoda. El servicio de restaurante/cafetería tiene muchas opciones con una excelente relación calidad/precio. El desayuno continental es fantástico, con zumo de naranja natural y pan tipo tradicional.
