I stayed here for 2 days. Firstly, hotels.com forgot to send me late check-in instructions, which I emailed them about. The room was ok. The pillow was really uncomfortable. There is no lock on the room. Shower was ok. I wake up to construction noise in the morning. There is no proper kitchen and if someone is cooking you can smell it from your bed.

Disliked: Staff & service
The fact that they keep to themselves forgotten items, even after they agreed to mail them to the guest domicile and guest agrees to pay the shipping fee. I'm still waiting for my expensive sunglasses, even after I contacted the person in charge a couple of times .THAT'S NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL,, I have never experienced something like this. And I call that "THEFT".

Caro para lo que ofrece.
Llegué de noche, pude acceder porque habia gente por alli y me encontré un posit con mi nombre y que cama tenia. La habitacion con ventiladores y un aire portatil que tuvimos que apagar porque salia aire caliente. Litera con una cortina de apenas un metro que no tapaba la cama. Los baños bastante bien.

Un sitio escondido en la ciudad.
Ha ido genial.El lugar más tranquilo de toda la ciudad. A 20m del bus 26 que te deja en el centro, he podido hacer buenas combinaciones. También tiene algún supermercado "Alimentación" a 5 minutos. La limpieza excelente, baños y duchas muy cómodos y siempre disponibles. He estado tres dias y la convivencia ha sido encantadora.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Horrible
Son flexibles en la entrada y te atienden muy amablemente. Contrariamente, no hay control a partir de las 20h. Los huéspedes gritan, cantan y ponen lavadoras. Los baños están bastante sucios. Las paredes de las literas tienen muchas manchas de roce. Respecto a la temperatura de la habitación era horrible y no tenía ventilación ninguna porque la ventana no se podía abrir totalmente. Para acabar, las sabanas tenían manchas y agujeros.
