For the price, it’s excellent and central to town. Room very clean. Only slight reservation was breakfast which wasn’t brilliant. But other than that it’s great.

nice clean room, was only for one night stay so limited overall experience
El hotel está adecuado en relación calidad precio, mi habitación estaba muy limpia y el personal es muy amable. Lo unico malo es su internet, es muy lento y a veces no sirve.
