Vaway Hotel

Vaway Hotel

8/10 Good
"es una excelente opción. Lo mejor de todo es su ubicación, ideal para moverse por la zona, y la atención del personal, que fue muy amable en todo momento. El desayuno también estuvo riquísimo y muy completo. El único defecto que encontré es que el baño no contaba con extractor ni ventilación para la evacuación de olores, lo cual resulta algo incómodo. De no ser por ese detalle, la experiencia habría sido perfecta. Aún así, lo recomiendo."
