This hotel has a great location close to the central station. The room was spacious, with a king bed and a very clean bathroom. i found the breakfast excellent, with many gluten-free options. The staff were helpful and kind.
The air conditioning was not working. I was told they were not allowed to turn it on yet. The temperature was very hot, and it was difficult to sleep at night.

The hotel's location near the station was a true advantage. I found Antonio at the front desk to be very helpful and kind. The room offered a very comfortable bed. The breakfast had many options, including fresh fruit.
The city tax was expensive at seven euros per person per night. This additional expense impacted my overall decision.
