6/10 Good

Is well located in Centro Viejo near an area in which music and relaxing outdoor cafés are common. The room was a good value for the money. An old building that had been upgraded. Very high ceilings with barrel vaulting of wood beams and brick added an interesting touch. The room was quite small; however, for the price and quality of the place it was good value. Only negative aspect was because of the design of venting into the passageway sounds for the hallway and other rooms with open doors was a bit of a bother. all-in-all good value for money

6/10 Good

We were only there for one night on a very busy weekend, so our hotel options were limited months in advance. This place was appropriate given the circumstances, but I would not stay there again. The property is really cute inside, but the rooms have zero amenities other than towels, beds and tv. The room we were in had no AC, just a fan; no windows; no iron or blow dryer. We basically needed a place to sleep, and this did the job. It's centrally located, and close to everything.
