Pros:

La belle chambre avec terrasse, la piscine, la vue du rooftop et le personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Petit soucis d'eau chaude les trois premiers jours dans la douche, ça a été réparé la veille du départ mais honnêtement ce n' est pas grave.

Det var bra, men med tanke på säsong och tid (tidig vår) för vistelse var det rätt dyrt.
Pros:

Frukosten var bra, tyckte servicen och personalen också var väldigt trevliga.
Sonen tyckte om terrassen och den hade en väldigt fin utsikt. Med en pool på taket som även har en bar.
Men jag tror i
Fantastisk personal!

Cons:

Vi hade problem med att det lät för mycket in i rummet från gatan. Jag lyfta upp detta till personalen på receptionen och dom löste det direkt! Detta är enormt plus, dom förstod vad jag menade och erbjöd mig ett annat rum.
