Not a bad little apartment, clean and in a good area. Only issue is the building work right outside the property! Banging and drilling starts at 7Am.

Noisy and awful management

If you like very thin mattresses, front desk staff that lie to you and ignore you, blood stains or no duvet cover on your bed, and THE LOUDEST construction noise every morning, then this is the place for you.

Todo bien, pero cuando llevas unos días te das cuenta que las toallas son las mismas, en 7 días que estuvimos nunca fregaron el suelo, la ducha, el espejo del lavabo, dejaron de poner bolsas en las papeleras, nos ponían cápsulas de café, pensamos que majos! pero los tres últimos días dejaron de hacerlo. No había recepción para poder preguntar nada, entrabas por códigos. Por lo demás bien.

The hotel looked new, light and fresh. The receptionist wasn't there very often, but in the other hand, I'd didn't needed them. I was happy with the hotel 🙂
