Stayed 2 nights

Desde el principio tuve problemas porque me decían que yo no había pagado, aunque había pagado por medio de Hotels.com Luego no te dan toallas, debes pagarlas aparte. Ten en cuenta si vas en verano, que no hay ventilador ni aire en las habitaciones. No recomendable para estancias de mas de 1 día. Supongo que en comparación con otros hoteles de la ciudad es barato, pero por casi 90 euros la noche, no me parecio muy bueno el servicio.
