"The only relatively positive thing is that the hotel is close to the center. Street is really bad (several exotic shops) and hotel is even worse. Cleaner and the lady preparing the breakfast are the only ones who do their best … waste, as the hotel is too old and not maintained at all! All 3 receptionists do not care at all. Do not spend your hard earned money with this hotel… significant downgrade to your visit to the beautiful Coln!!"
