La ubicación es muy buena, céntrica, con cafeterías cerca; pero hay mucho ruido por las noches. Habitaciones amplias y limpias, camas cómodas, buen servicio de limpieza y amable. Hay áreas de oportunidad en la atención, y actitudes apáticas del personal de recepción. Tienen zonas comunes, unas mesitas, y pueden hacer uso del refri para su comida y bebidas.

Me gustó, limpio y céntrico. Agua caliente, jabones y shampoo. Solo me hubiera gustado que la cobija hubiera sido más gruesa jeje. La atención fue muy amable, lo recomiendo mucho. Además afuera está un callejón con cafés y mesas muy bohemias.

Idéalement situé au cœur de la ville, peu bruyant. Personnel gentil et professionnel peu importe l'heure et nos demandes. Il manque quelques équipements dans les chambres (sèche cheveux, rangements salle de bains), sinon c'est un sans faute. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

El lugar esta bien, la habitación se encontraba limpia, lo unico malo es que no nos aceptaron pago con tarjeta, pero de ahi en fuera todo bien

Mi airbnb me falló totalmente y tuve que buscar hospedaje de emergencia en temporada alta, fin de semana además. Este Mesón resultó una agradable sorpresa. Con lo necesario para pasar bien la noche, personal muy amable. Precio accesible y estupenda ubicación. Definitivamente sí volveria a hospedarme ahí.
