Salvo lo ya explicado, creo que es un aprobado justito porque hay cosas que se pueden mejorar
Pros:

quisiera remarcar el excelente desayuno que ofrece el hotel, de los mejores en los que haya podido estar anteriormente, excepto si llegas a ultima hora donde no reponen y te tienes que quedar con los restos

Cons:

Tuvimos que coger una habitación de mas ultima hora porque se apunto una persona mas al viaje, aparte del precio mucho mas elevado que tuvimos que pagar, la primera habitación que le dieron tenia inquilinos de 6 patas muy desagradables y negros, además de una dejadez de limpieza muy notable con restos de tela de araña detrás de la puerta, cuando me queje, inmediatamente la cambiaron de habitación, acepto que fue un error quizás de previsión, pero es que en la segunda habitación que estaba en perfectas condiciones, cuando estaba esta chica sola en ella, entraron dos personas de origen Alemán, reclamando entrar dentro y chillando, por suerte estaba echado el seguro de la puerta y solo pudieron abrirla dos dedos, si no hubiera sido asi, pues eso no se que hubiera pasado, otro error mas, que imagino fue sin intención, pero no es lógico dar la misma llave digital a dos personas desconocidas de una misma habitación. en fin..........

Fin de semana en pareja 3 dias
Pros:

Ubicación excelente y personal amable, la sauna está bien y nos dejaron entrar antes a la habitación y guardar el ultimo dia las maletas sin coste

Cons:

El ruido de la calle se escucha bastante, no está muy bien insonorizada
El desayuno aunque es variado , es un aprobado justo, no es lo más a destacar aunque por lo que cuesta de más es aceptable

Staff Disponibilissimo

Devo dire che non c'è stato nulla che non mi è piaciuto.
