Good location near the station. Very nice tidy room with a great view ! Good breakfast options and helpful staff throughout our stay.
Rachit, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel’s location was excellent, and the staff were really helpful, especially Eduardo, who went above and beyond to assist us. However, the pillows and mattress were quite uncomfortable. My wife is pregnant, and unfortunately, there was very little lumbar or head support, which made it difficult for her to rest properly. Overall, though, it’s a nice hotel with great service — just needs improvement in the bedding comfort.
