Muy mala experiencai
Desagradable experiencia. Nos cobraron cargo extra por nuestra hija de 11 años y no nos dier9n cama ni toallas para ella. Nunca se preocuparon por solicionar el problema. Solo que nos arreglaramos como puedieramos. Que suerma en el piso. Horrible experiencia. Olor desagradable en el departamento. Edificio viejo.

Never stay here again
Absolute shambles. They overbooked for my first night and so made me stay in a horrible 2* hotel where I worried about my safety. I had to accept it given the alternative was sleeping on the streets. When I raised a refund, I was told that my booking was non refundable under any circumstances. This means there's nothing to stop them doing this on a frequent basis and making money by selling rooms at their price but actually providing rooms in a different hotel which is not anywhere near the same standard. Avoid this hotel. I was treated horribly by them.

We booked the apartment and it's very spacious. It has kitchen and utensils. Microwave and stove. Bathroom is spacious too. Bakery and restaurants below the building. Walkable to everywhere, very close the "bookstore" and the "McDonald". It got real noisy on Friday night because of the restaurants, till 2am. Wifi is not the best.
