Un lugar tranquilo con buen acceso y aparcamiento; buenos servicios y buen desayuno. La recepcionista amable y competente.
Lo único a añadir, fue la falta de limpieza debajo de la cama.

La ubicación cercana a Salamanca es una de sus mayores ventajas. La habitación era grande y el desayuno bastante completo. En general todo bien 😊
Los baños necesitan una reforma en serio, es la única pega que le pongo al hotel

Hotel limpio y tranquilo. Lo usamos para pasar la noche de camino a otro destino. Muy correcto y asequible. El desayuno variado y rico.
It would be good to have a fridge, especially in summer, to have cold water, and some rooms had the new bathroom with a shower tray and others did not. It would be interesting if all of them were renovated.
Vendría bien que tuviera nevera sobre todo en verano para tener agua fresca y algunas habitaciones tenían el baño nuevo con placa ducha y otras no. Sería interesante que todas estuvieran reformadas.

I could hear the alarm/music from the next room. It woke me up and I couldn't fall back asleep.
