Pension Francia

Clean option for the budget international traveler. Would not get a favorable rating here in the US.

Positiv: Very clean. Close to train station. Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

Negativ: Noisy. Three story walk-up was a bit treacherous. (loose tiles, worn stairs.)

Staff was friendly. Internet was good. Location was great. Room looked a bit like a prison cell - if you get a room with balcony I guess the experience would be 100% better. Prepare to climb up the stairs with your suitcase. I don't know how this hotel got a two stars rating; it should be zero. But great location and better than sharing a room with strangers in a hostel. Also, I lost 100 euros that I left in my purse that stayed in the room... Don't want to blame anyone, obviously, it probably fell from my purse but very suspicious... should have hidden it better I guess.

Positiv: Location! If you don't care for comfort, it is a good option. Other guests were pretty decent too (I thought it would be scary as per cheap price, but no)

Negativ: Room was horrible, the pension had a very strong soap smell that made me sick. I was hoping for a room with balcony as another reviewed said all rooms had a balcony, but mine was just a little square that didn't have space for two open suitcases.
