The property is in a great location, but the buildings elevator was not working. There is also not "front desk" at the ground floor you have to go to the 7th floor for that and the hotel carmen is in the 4th floor.

The location was great and the room was good but nothing spectacular. The elevator to the 4th floor wasn’t working so I had to take it to the 5th floor and walk down a flight. The check in was on a different floor. The bed and room were ok and the shower was manageable.

Great location next to metro station and in heart of city. Most attractions are walkable and staff are friendly but mainly speak Spanish. Room was very comfortable and fridge in room was very useful. Would recommend staying here.

Lo único malo es el elevador, es pequeño, lento y viejo. Subimos a pie 7 pisos para check in, mismo que bajamos. Optamos por que subiera uno de nosotros con todas las maletas, el resto por la escalera. Muchos con el mismo problema. Luego una noche se metieron dos vagabundos a dormir en la escalera, no se querían mover. Avisamos para que los sacaran.

Hotel in posizione centrale e comodissima per visitare la città. Camere molto piccole ma funzionali, bagno altrettanto piccolo ma pratico. Le camere sono rumorosissime, senza nessun tipo di insonorizzazione. Durante il ns. soggiorno stavano imbiancando alcune stanze e le parti comuni. I lavori venivano eseguiti fino a tarda notte e a causa della mancata insonorizzazione è stato difficile riposare.

Habitaciones bastante modernas con limpieza justita, es un gran inconveniente que llegues a la habitación y lo primero que veas son unos buenos lamparones marrones en las colchas de las camas, luego las sábanas estaban limpias, eso sí, el apartamento estaba bastante chulo y la habitación estaba bien en amplitud y también en insonorización con la calle, aunque estando en pleno centro siempre se escucha algo como es lógico, en general no está mal, pero con cosas a mejorar como las que comento... Los espacios comunes ya es otro cantar, las escaleras y el ascensor dan pena verlos, por viejos "que es lo de menos" y por sucios sobre todo. No han limpiado la escalera en los 4 días de estancia, los escalones llenos de churretones y parece que no importa a nadie, eso muy, muy mal.
