Muito bem localizado.

Hotel muito bem localizado, fica exatamente na rua de traz da loja Zara e Primark, na Gran Via, uma avenida larga com muitas lojas para compras. Em 10 Minutos de caminhada se chega ao mercado e plaza mayor. Tu do muito perto e bem localizado. O quarto tem uma estrutura um pouco antiga, mas é amplo e foi confortável. Indico e voltaria.
