Pros:

La posizione, molto comoda per visitare la città

Cons:

Devo ancora capire perché per una prenotazione di 3 persone ci hanno dato una stanza con 2 letti singoli… per fortuna all’arrivo è stata trovata una soluzione. Colazione molto basica ma discreta.

Pros:

퀘벡 가는 길에 오타와 여행을 했습니다. 오타와는 1박 할꺼라 여기 저기 다니기 힘들었는데, 숙소 위치가 오타와를 짧게 느끼고 가기에 좋은 위치에 있습니다. 그리고 조식도 꽤나 괜찮습니다.

Posizione comoda!
Pros:

Posizione comoda per girare il centro, la zona di ByWard Market è caratteristica e piena di localini. Il personale è molto gentile e la colazione abbastanza varia. In camera c'è tutto quello che può essere utile! Letto comodo, vestaglia, tanti asciugamani ma soprattutto la steuttura è pulita!

Cons:

Il bagno è un po' vecchiotto, con vasca e tenda. Le camere non sono insonorizzate: ho sentito dei bambini urlare e correre dalle 6 del mattino!
