    bed uncomfortable, a bit noisy because the central location.

    We stayed just for half night as our flight arrived nearly at 1am and next day we left to Granada. The place is huge , it feels more like a hostel, simple twin bed, breakfast, share bathroom. Good for check-in late , the staff were great, and to be in a central location.

    The toilet and bathroom were very dirty, the glass of cabin for bath was broken. The thing that holds the douche was broken. It was very noisy when you open the windows, and you don't have any other chance as there is no Air conditioner, just a smal fan which doesn't help at all. So sleeping was a problem even at 2am. If you stay 1 day it can be maybe fine, but if you visit for long I really don't recommend. Find a better place with AC.

    The location was great, in downtown close to everything.

    No air conditioning in the rooms , a little noisy at night due to the location.

    Great location, shared refrigerator in the corridor, you can leave your luggage at the reception desk even after checking out.

    there was really loud from the street, until 1 am there is a restaurant noise, then people walking around, then seagulls screaming - no way to open the window but there is a fan in the room so it saves the situation a bit. if you are sensitive to noise - you will suffer. there are enough bathrooms on the floor so you won't stay in lines but they are not very clean, one of them didn't have toilet paper inside.

    The location is perfect, the very city centre, easy to find, easy to access The price is quite reasonable for one-night stay there are a lot of rooms and on Thursday there were not that many people the staff is friendly and helpful the breakfast - simple and nit diverse but you can have a sandwich or crisps with milk - it can work to start your day with something there is a cooler with cold and hot water on the floor

    be careful if you are a light sleeper as there is a restaurant right below the windows and people tend to party late into the night especially during weekends.

    Right in the heart of the city center, very close to everything. Nice old building.

    The only thing I didn't like was the noise - at night it was hard to sleep because of the noise from the street.

    The location is right in the center, the price was very good and the breakfast was OK. The room was also ok for me, bathrooms were clean.

    Because it's very central the streets are busy and it's quite noisy.

    It was very noisy at night, and we could hear every passer-by shouting. The men's toilet is shared, which means that while some are showering, others are sitting on the toilet and can see you. There was a cockroach in the women's toilet
