E' sempre una garanzia di qualità e relax
Cons:

La colazione offre troppo "salato" e poco "dolce" secondo me andrebbe un pò incrementata la parte dolce

Prima hotel, vriendelijke bediening en heerlijke bedden.
Pros:

Goede ontvangst, prima kamer, prima bedden en badkamer, alles heel goed. Ook een heel prima ontbijt.
Het hotel ligt op loopafstand van het prachtige, historische centrum van het stadje.

Cons:

Het restaurant was goed, heel vriendelijke bediening, maar het eten was toch niet op het niveau dat we bij dit hotel hadden verwacht voor deze prijzen. Een misverstand over onze bestelling werd uiteindelijk wel professioneel en vriendelijk opgelost. Misschien had de kok z'n dag niet zo.
