“What stood out was the ideal location near the train station, making trips to the city center and Santa Village effortlessly easy; plus, I appreciate the convenience of an in-house kitchen and laundry. Breakfast provides good choices and rooms are clean and spacious enough for two. I'd say it's a solid and practical choice.”
