La deuxième chambre était correcte, hormis les couvertures sur lesquelles un précédent locataire avait dû déposer son trop plein d'alcool et qui empestaient véritablement. En allant les faire changer à la réception, nous avons eu droit à une autre couverture sale, mais du moins elle n'était pas nauséabonde. A part ça, bien situé. Prendre ses draps (et couverture?) et tout se passera bien.close

The smell of damp wasn't great, and for some reason dry socks that were left on the floor ended up saturated and stinking. Also our bags were locked up and the reseption closed for no reason nearly making us miss our train. I guess what can you expect for the price....

The hotel was nothing like was advertised on the website. I was very disapointed with the place especially the condition of cleanliness which was practically none! The only good thing about it was the price which was good for someone on a budget like myself.

It was kind of dirty. The staff almost didnt speak any english. Not until one of us started to speak spanish they started to be a little more kind to us.

It is very noisy because doors are constantly slamming shut due to the position of the shower rooms. Most of the staff was nice except for one young man who was a total jerk. You could probably do better for the same price.

The prices for the rooms did not make any sense. How can it be that you have to pay 30 euro for double room with a WC and a shower (that makes 15 euros per person) and 44 euros for a double room without a WC and a shower. Moreover, if you want to share a room with other people, you have to pay 22...

A very budget hotel. All the things we needed for one night, but I wouldn´t have wanted to stay much longer. It was a bit out of the way, but fairly close to the metro and was a fairly dingy establishment. Good for the price though!
