Stayed in two different family rooms, one week apart. Both were roomy and clean, no complaints.

"Welcoming, safe and comfortable. Highly recommended"

9.0

En-suite was really smart and the beds were super comfy. Close to our concert venue and felt very safe as two young people travelling on our own for a first overnight stay.

Found the stairs tiring after being out all day!

4.0

Is was basic, which we knew it would be. But the room was very small, it was hard to get around. There was a wardrobe in bad condition and just took up space. And we had a lot of mold in the bathroom, that was the worst of it.

Too expensive in comparison to the Terrace hotel where we moved to. We were also sent to a room across the road

"Muy caro para lo que se ofrece"

6.0

Podría decir la ubicación pero tampoco es excelente

El precio carísimo para como es. la habitación es pequeña para tres personas, decorada de Ikea y sin espacio para nada. El baño aparentemente reformado pero luego la ducha no traga agua. Los colchones no son demasiado cómodos aunque medio se puede dormir. La ubicación no es mala pero hay que andar un paseo para llegar al Castillo. Y especialmente el personal/recepcionista fue muy mal educado. El check in es a partir de las 14, llegamos más temprano y nos permitió dejar las mochilas. Volvimos justo antes de las 21 hora máxima de check in y casi que le molestó. Al día siguiente para dejar las llaves nos trató con desdén y muy mala educación. En definitiva no lo recomiendo.
