Hotel San Agustin Posada del Monasterio

Hotel San Agustin Posada del Monasterio

8/10 Good
"El papel higiénico es de mala calidad. Nos gustó lo gentil que fue el personal. La ubicación es muy buena. Los desayunos deberían de tener más variedad. La máquina de café siempre apagada y teniendo que solicitar la enciendan cada vez que se va a usar. Ese detalle es grave. Escaso pan en el desayuno. La caja fuerte no funciona digitalmente y se debe usar la llave. El sistema de cortinas no permite el uso adecuado con las ventanas Antiruido."
