Vista spettavcolare
Pros:

Il Vello D'oro è una struttura che conserva la sua autenticità mentre le camere sono state rimodernate. La gentilezza di tutto lo Staff , la sigra Milena, molto gentile e cortese, hanno reso il mio soggiorno molto piacevole.

Cons:

Un piccolo consiglio per la colazione, sarebbe utile la possibilità di tostare l'ottimo pane.

Absolut ej prisvärt, inget jag kan rekommendera!
Pros:

Läget var bra.

Cons:

Saknade hårtork och kylskåp på rummet.
AC fungerade inte alls två av våra tre nätter och när den fungerar är den endast igång 15:00-03:00 och 06:00-09:00! Det finns inte heller möjlighet att styra AC:n från rummet.
Frukosten var under medel med gröna hårdkokta ägg och mer bakverk än andra frukostvaror. Personalen var ej speciellt tillmötesgående, frågade om det fanns möjlighet att äta frukost 15 minuter tidigare pga tidig hemresa, fick till svar att jag skulle fråga personalen i matsalen och där ifrågasattes vem som skickat dit oss. Frukostpersonalen, tre män, stod i matsalen och pratade och skrattade under tiden vi åt, ganska störande faktiskt.
