posizione ottima, hotel mediocre
Pros:

Posizione eccezionale, camera discreta, pulizia accettabile. Purtroppo moquette sintomo di scarsa igiene. Coperte non ben lavate. Bagno abbastanza spazioso

Cons:

il prezzo che si paga p quello della posizione, veramente ottima. Le camere sono mediocri , i corridoi per accedere alle camere molto brutti con condizionatori portatili lungo il percorso.
