Basic stay at a great location.

A cheap place to stay, it was clean and the location was good. Walking distance to most sightseeing spots in the city, affordable restaurants around. Metro station was close too. The room was very basic, the front desk too. Room gave impression of being 30 years behind today. No elevator might be good to know. :)

Room was very small with no storage and seemed run down. Lots of street noise. Shelves in the closet didn’t seem strong enough to hold suitcases. Service was decent but not great.

部屋は小さいけど清潔でした。 共有のバスルームについて少し心配でしたが、使いたい時にだれかとかぶることは一切なく常に清掃が行き届いており快適でした。 お湯も熱いくらい出ましたしシャワーはハンドシャワーで水圧も申し分ありませんでした。 一点、ビルが突然停電となってしまい途方に暮れる一幕がありました。 スタッフの方もすごく焦ってました。 幸い3時間程度で復旧しましたが英語が話せるスタッフが常駐してないので、なかなか状況が確認できませんでした。 そのため停電の原因は不明です。

Hotel bien situado, barato pero lamentablemente muy ruidoso. Tanto el ruido de las cañerías, como las puertas hacían mucho ruido. Para pasar una noche es pasable. La atención de la recepción fue buena y agradable.
