Location very central but the surrounding area is very dodgy, I felt uncomfortable after dark. Traffic noise is loud and near constant. The "hotel" is more of a hostel but viewed as such its not too bad.

Desayuno muy limitado. y demasiado ruido en la habitación. Tal vez deben cambiar las ventanas y poner de doble vidrio. Difícil dormir así.
