I can't deny that this hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are spacious even though they have some old decor, which is understandable considering the price. I booked a Bed & Breakfast option, and it was basic but had all the necessary facilities. I have mixed feelings about this place, but overall, it's a decent choice.

For our one-night stay, the hotel offered a perfect room to transport luggage, but I didn't like the one small sachet of shower gel. The location was great, just across from the metro and a short walk to downtown. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but the gentleman at breakfast was quite rude. The dining experience was poor, despite the hotel being close to the royal palace.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in front of Principe Pio metro station, making it convenient for those using public transport. The rooms would benefit from basic improvements like a kettle and tea, but they do have a musty smell which was disappointing. The service was lacking, with just the duvet being pulled over the beds and no early check-in assistance provided. Although the dining options were poor, the hotel's proximity to the royal palace is a plus.
