Staff was great and very helpful. They were kind enough to upgrade our room to a slightly bigger room at no cost, however rooms need some updating.

Almost all corresponded to expectations and we really enjoyed our stay, the surroundings, and staff friendliness. However, one important point did not correspond to expectations: I selected this place assuming from the photos that I'd have a sofa; this was important as I was going to have an online meeting in one of the days. Unfortunately, that did not happen and staff said it's because the photos online might correspond to different rooms and that one in specific was not available. I'd suggest to have specific rooms with such differences as different options.

Weekend to forget

We reserve this Hotel and when we arrive it was horrible, we not get our room because the not accepted an official identification and the not give us the money back. I can not recommend this Hotel at all. We went to another Hotel did our check in with the same document without any problem. If someone what to relax don't book this one!

This is a house turned into a hotel. It's in a dark alley. The reservation was under my name, but they didn't let me check in until the person who made the reservation (who was in the US) sent them a picture of their passport. They sent whatsapp messages saying that the doors to the hotel close at 11pm and whay time WE we returning. There was not WE, I was the only one there. After I returned, another whatsapp message asking if WE just got there 30 minutes ago. I said no, I was there over an 1 hr ago. They insisnted if WE needed anthing else, like blankets. I said no, I do not need anything else. There was not hot water, you have to let it run for a while. The room was ok.
