En general muy bueno.

9.0

Es un poco anticuado y sobre el color rojo se pudiera discutir. Pero todo los demás ok

− No me ha gustado la escalera antigua en mal estado de la escalera de la entrada principal, que no depende del hotel. Pero es un peligro andando con las maletas.

10.0

Walking distance to great places And felt safe

− Part of the building is under construction it didn’t bothered me too much, but you had to be aware of the stuff in the stairs for safety

Absolutely not value for money, not a good experience

4.0

Location is convenient, right in the center of all major touristic attractions, if you like walking. The communication with the hotel was also smooth, they responded immediately to our requests and tried to accommodate them. The room itself was also clean.

− Unfortunately our stay was not great vis a vis the money we paid to stay there (200/night)! There was a constant and intense smell of sewage and mold. Especially in the evening even though we were closing the bathroom door it was unbearable. The worst thing is that we could not open the balcony door so we could at least get some fresh air because it was blocked. For the first days there was not enough hot water, more like lukewarm, but then after asking they fixed it. The building itself is very old full of mold. A pair of slippers would have been appreciated.

Estaba bien ubicado.

− Creo que la cama, si bien estaba bien, el colchón no era tipo hotel. Era una mezcla entre colchoneta y colchón, siendo cómodo. Ahora, me parece importante que se sepa que es un hotel boutique, ubicado en un edificio antiguo y son pocas habitaciones, por lo que las instalaciones del edificio son muy antiguas
