Non consigliato.
Pros:

Posizione, colazione.

Cons:

Erano anni che non mi capitava di andare in un hotel a 4 stelle e non trovare una bottiglia d'acqua in camera. Alloggiavo al 3 piano e la mattina dalle ore 06.00 circa e fino alle 07.30 rumori continui fastidiosissimi Che non mi hanno lasciato dormire, forse il personale delle pulizie, rumori di spostamenti di letti, porte che sbattevano, aspirapolvere....un inferno. Stanze piccolissime e bagno ancora di più.
