The room was clean, quiet and comfortable for the two of us. Breakfast was the average continental fare. The Hotel itself was clean within walking distance from the train station. It has a nice garden at the rear. We enjoyed our stay here.

Good basic hotel with excellent location

This hotel is for those who want basic accomodation but still in a good location. It is about a 5-10 minute walk from the main train station, where most people come from. Is very close to the markets and most major attractions. Nice addition was the included breakfast which was excellent. It also has a lovely courtyard.

Horrible-Low Rent-NOT 3 Star-Beware

This hotel is gross. It needs a major overhaul/renovation. It smells, the walls are paper thin - we could hear everything down the hall, out in the street. The room was just horrible - filthy rug, mold in the bathroom, bugs, dust everywhere - the pictures on the website are false advertising - they show a basic room, yes, but not how rundown it is. Our toilet was duct taped together! Staff was not friendly - I imagine they don't pay them very well either - they obviously don't put any money back into the hotel. Beware - do not stay here.

El desayuno muy bueno y su personal muy agradable. La ubicación y el precio lo mejor pero para ser un hotel de 3 estrellas deberían mejorar las instalaciones de los lavabos de las habitaciones.
