Everything is fine except the bed, the pillows and the blanket are not so comfy. The room feels not so luxurious.

Latroupe Prado
The location is very convenient to the train station, walkable and safe. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was small but comfortable and efficient. The only awkwardness was a bunkbed design that meant I kept bumping my head on the bed above.
