The location was great and the room was good but nothing spectacular. The elevator to the 4th floor wasn’t working so I had to take it to the 5th floor and walk down a flight. The check in was on a different floor. The bed and room were ok and the shower was manageable.

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.
