Angenehme Überraschung, sehr gut und zentrumsnah.
Pros:

Ich habe nicht gefrühstückt. Das Zimmer hat mir sehr gefallen, alles da, was man braucht.

Cons:

Der Boden im Bad ist kalt, eine Fussbodenheizung wäre angenehm oder ein kleiner Frottee-Teppich, auf den man stehen kann.

Per un soggiorno breve e a buon mercato
Pros:

Ristorante e sala colazione bellissima, personale molto gentile, camera spaziosa, abbiamo ricevuto un upgrade. Posizione molto comodo, in un bel quartiere residenziale, vicino al centro a piedi.

Cons:

L'odore della camera, un misto tra non arieggiata e candeggina. La struttura un po' vecchiotta, ma comunque con il suo charme.
