Edurne

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I asked for the room to be clceaned once and only the trash can was emptied. The toilet was not cleaned and the sheets were not changed. You have to change the towels yourself. My room was right at the entrance, so I could hear everybody coming in and out. Nobody respected the silence sign. One day contruction was done right infront of my room and I was not informed that it was going to happen. Unfortunately not worth it.

It is a little bit loud

It was great to stay. But there was no person at front desk. There are no people to cotrol the sounds. So I will not recommend if u are sensitive at hearing.

The room was freezing cold all night I slept in my puffer jacket. I did report to staff and they said they would turn the heat up but it was still cold. Shower was hot thankfully but this is not suitable for winter

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was bigger than I expected. It’s enough space for 2 people. I checked in via calling the stuff and they tell us the password for the room. The other people do the same, but they just repeat after stuff telling the password so I feel it’s insecure because if there are other people in the reception area, they hear the number.
