Its general conditions were in need of modernization. Regarding the cleaning we found toilette paper in the water bowl, the bowl itself had yellow stripes of limestone and flushing water was leaking running in it.

I lost my I Phone and Marta and Marisa went beyond the call of duty and assisted in getting my Phone back to me. I recommend Hotel Ancora and you will enjoy your stay.
