I paid 70 euros for a night as a pilgrim. This region is well known for having pilgrims and this hotel was the only place available. They know it but they didn't care. The bar right above is very noisy and I believe it belongs to the hotel. The staff was rude at the bar but very kind at the reception. The light switch had some blood I believe on it. The hair dryer was fixed illegally to the power. Security standards in the bathroom were therefore not respected.

Its good
By far the worst hotel experience of my life. Dirty, small, dark, expensive, and unpleasant. I had to leave early because there were bedbugs in the mattress. They could really use a good health inspection. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. We asked for a complaint form and they didn't even have one! A terrifying experience; this hotel is straight out of a horror movie.
When we arrived, the receptionist was happy to be able to "leave early" and left us waiting while she chatted and finished her cigarette. At first, the room smelled strongly of some cleaning product. The bedding was old, the bedspread had little balls, the bathroom was quite disgusting, and even the hairdryer was dirty. The worst surprise was when we opened the window and found the wood covered in bugs, and outside there was a cockroach the size of a pinky finger. On top of that, the window didn't close properly. The only positive thing was that the morning receptionist was very kind at checkout.
The location was good. The room was small, poorly lit, and felt dirty. The bathroom felt dirty as well. Everything was old. The bathroom door couldn't be closed or opened, and the toilet bowl moved when you sat down. There were some bugs. The quality was quite poor for the price.
