7 / 10Good·Jun 2026

La amabilidad de los dueños y la pronta respuesta a mi inquietud de limpiar mi habitación. También la limpieza de todos los sectores de usos comunes

Cuando me instale en la habitación estaba sucia y las sábanas estaban sin cambiar, también Creí que al rentar una habitación privada iba a tener toalla, pero esto último no era de ínfima necesidad

The manager was lovely! Very good location (right in the center) and right next to the InterCity bus station, so very convenient for backpackers.

Not very well isolated when it's cold outside (but the heater works well so it's ok in winter).
