"En general el apartamento esta bien, situación buena, habitaciones amplias, cocina completa, terraza estupenda, el trato con propietaria y encargada muy bueno. Lo que me gusto menos, es que solo hay aire acondicionado en el salón, el resto de habitaciones tiene ventilador de techo además cuenta con un ventilador portátil que lo puedes poner donde quieras pero se hace difícil regular la temperatura para estar cómodo. El mobiliario de terraza algo deteriorado y un poco sucio, algunos platos también sucios (nada que no se pueda arreglar con jabón y estropajo o lavavajillas que también hay), el sofá algo incomodo y el baño antiguo. Tiene mas ventajas que inconvenientes, yo repetiría."

"The hotel is a bit dated and could do with a renovation/ modernisation. Otherwise its clean and spacious. The beds were inconsistent in comfort. We were in the quadruple bed room and half the bed were so old it squeaked when you roll over in your sleep, and the mattress was so uncomfortable that I didn't get to sleep much all night."
