Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The beds were comfortable, the shower was nice, the breakfast was basic but good, the rooms were sound proof, the location was very useful and they have a large TV in the room with everything you need.
Negative: The price for our stay was too expensive for what it is. There were small cracks on the ceiling in the bedroom and there were signs of dampness in the bathroom. I think the price reflects the location more than the facilities.
Summary: Good but expensive
