It was good that the reception was open after 12 pm because my trains were late. The receptionist was friendly. The room did not have a window and there was no water in the room. The Wi-Fi did not work.

Place smelt strongly of smoke and was not clean. Shared bathroom was not clean and towels provided were worn and smelt of smoke. Bedroom was small but this was fine for price and location. If it was looked and clean would be fine.

El sitio era horrible, tenebroso, lúgubre, roto, sucio, para ir con un niño de diez años fue espantoso. La recepción nos atendió muy severamente a casi las 12 de la noche y hasta diciéndonos que no podíamos entrar si no conseguía el libro de familia o DNI de mi hijo inmediatamente. Cosa que, ante la agresividad, no tuve más remedio que hacer con gran temor y mi hijo llorando. Mi hijo de diez años NO ESTÁ OBLIGADO A LLEVAR SU DNI. Me he alejado con él en muchos hoteles, apartahoteles y hostales durante diez años y nunca me han puesto en esta situación de dejarnos en la calle y mucho menos a esas horas de la noche. Le di la tarjeta de la Seguridad Social de mi hijo en donde venía su nº de DNI, con una simple comprobación telefónica con la policía habría comprobado que soy la madre del menor en el DNI, en vez de meterle miedo a mi hijo. No hay derecho. En España un menor de 10 años NO ESTÁ OBLIGADO A TENER EL DNI, hasta los 14 años. Yo se lo hice con un año, PERO NO ESTÁ OBLIGADO. Si esta persona nos echa a la calle soy yo la que llamo a la policía para que venga a explicárselo y demostrar que es mi hijo con su número de DNI, eso sí, le habrían inspeccionado el local, porque desde luego no reúne por 61 euros la noche, ni mucho menos, las condiciones de salubridad y buen estado que debe reunir un alojamiento a ese precio.

Ända fördelen är att det ligger centralt och nära till stationen men i övrigt inget att rekommendera. Ojämn vattentemperatur som pendlar från väldigt kallt till väldigt varmt i duschen, ofräscht badrum, kackerlackor på rummet, ljuset från korridoren tar sig lätt genom springor i dörren, gamla så kallade täcken. Känslan och upplevelsen var mer negativ än positiv tyvärr.

역에서 매우 가까운 입지라서 선택한 곳입니다. 공용 욕실/화장실을 사용하는 것은 알고 숙박했지만, 7실 모두 만실이었던 주말에는 1개뿐인 화장실을 사용하기가 상당히 불편한점이 있었습니다. 사워부스/화장실이 같이있어서 한번에 1명만 사용이 가능해서 더욱 그렇습니다. 화장실은 매일 청결하게 관리되고있고, 침실도 대체로 깨끗합니다만, 침실바닥은 청소용 세제의 문제인지 끈적하게 신발바닥에 달라붙는 문제점이 있었습니다. 새로 장만한 슬리퍼 바닥이 새카맣게 변할 정도로요… 향후 침실 바닥의 청결도는 관리가 필요해보입니다.
