  • Common facilities and services: Not rated the was a vending machine for coffee but unfortunately no tea. And a machine for snacks.
  • Staff: 5 The staff hardly spoke any english, but seemed friendly enough. We where given a box of chocolate at departure.
  • Quietness: Not rated Noise form streets surrounding the area where horrible and made it hard to sleep at night. Hookers, junkies and drugdealers had activities going on all night. There where an actual "Pick-up place" right on the corner under our balcony, and the pimps where fighting and shouting, while the police arrived several times during our stay. And spanish people living in the streets where throwing water after the pimps.
  • Room: 2.5 The room was very small. Though it is written that the TV has international channels this is not true.Expect only to sleep under a linen, but with a blanket in the cupboard if necessary. Don expect to drink the tap-water as i taste of chloride. It was hard to figure out the heater and it was almost always turned of.
