we stayed here 3 days, we really enjoyed it, spacious and clean rooms, great breakfast, the only flaw to report (we would need soundproof windows, those overlooking the street).

The air conditioning turned off during the night and the room was extremely hot.

The air conditioning did not work very well to cool the whole room, just the space near the vent, even though the room was very small.

Unexpected charges and refunds4 of 2731 in 68 reviews
Even when you book through Booking.com, they still manage to charge extra, take unauthorised payments, or hold your card for nonsense fees that were never agreed.
Tripadvisor, August 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
Another issue was that there seemed to be extra charges for several small things.
