チェックイン時と言うよりも建物に入る時が複雑。 まず全てのインストラクションがスペイン語になっているのでわかりづらい。建物の外見が普通のビルなのでよく若ならなかった。入館時にまず暗証番号を入力してカギを開けるのだが、その暗証番号がメールで送られて来たけどその説明がスペイン語で最初はよく解らなかった。 館内にはレセプションは無く受付用のタブレットが置かれていた。そこは英語案内もあり必要なことを入力しクレジットカード決済を済ませ部屋番号が示される。 それでも入室できるのは午後3時から。中には私と同じ境遇のフランス人が2人いた。 ただこの複雑な手続きが済むとあとは問題なし。 地下鉄の駅からも近く空港からは公共交通機関を乗り継いでスムースに行ける。

Nel complesso la struttura è sufficiente, la stanza non è piccolissima ed è abbastanza pulita ma l’aria condizionata è completamente inesistente, ho anche contattato il servizio clienti per richiedere un intervento sull’impianto ed è stato mandato un tecnico ma comunque il problema non è stato risolto quindi non è consigliabile andare in estate

Had my family visit from out of the country and this place was perfect for a short term stay. Clean room and nice private restroom. Constructing along the Main Street but the noises didn’t come through the room. Included soap in the restroom and in the shower. Check in process was easy with keys directly on the phone via link on text. Overall great experience!

I liked that were close literally on everything which made it easier for us to go everywhere. We had a balcony and near a supermarket(small shop) thats next to the hotel but i wish a small kettle wouldn’t hurt to add on. The things i didn’t enjoy about our hotel was, it said it included the breakfast but there wasn’t any and the whole thing was so confusing because of the lack of information and there was nobody there to help us with everything. PLUS the extra fees we paid for when he got there which we though it was unnecessary.

I was very unhappy with reception and reservation organization. I arrived at the hotel/hostel in the late evening and was unable to enter. No one from the hotel contacted me upon booking with special instructions or a reservation #. I am currently requesting a refund. Even locating my room the second night was rough because I was not given a room # and had to locate it myself.
