The only thing I regret was buying the breakfast as I was unaware it was not in the same building and I felt as though the breakfast options were very limited. However the hotel itself was great and the staff were very helpful!

Buen hotel aunque con puntos a mejorar

Hotel moderno y acogedor ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y bien conectada con transporte público. La zona dispone de supermercados cercanos al hotel que agradecimos mucho tener a mano. El personal agradable. Las instalaciones por lo general correctas, las habitaciones son limpias y acogedoras pero no estuvimos todo lo cómodos que en un principio esperamos ya que los colchones eran muy duros e incómodos, además en las ventanas no había una cortina que impida que entre la luz y nos despertaba al amanecer, lo cual interrumpía el descanso, pero por lo demás es correcto.

Location great but should provide more detailed directions to hotel from train station, because even google map was confused about left or right, through all the laneways! Very good service and provision of clean towels etc, but room a bit small. Would be good if an iron was available.
