Pros:

Hotel starszy. Dużym Plusem lokalizacja i czystość. Śniadania wystarczające aczkolwiek monotonne.
Tylko dla mało wymagających .

Cons:

Dla mnie nie zrozumiałe żeby w dzisiejszych czasach i przy tych temperaturach nie było lodówki w pokoju. Nie spotykane.

Pros:

Ottima posizione, staf accogliente e disponibile. Pulito e tranquillo. Tutte le camere hanno un balcone con vista mare laterale. Però terrazzo solarium... molto bello! Con panorama su Isola Bella.

Cons:

Sicuramente, visto il potenziale dell'hotel, serve svecchiamento e ristrutturazione.
Manca il frigo in camera e viste le temperature, secondo me necessario.

Pros:

Vista magnifica dal balcone della camera. La piscina sul tetto era piacevole. Per un 4 stelle, la colazione era buona ma nulla di eccezionale.

Cons:

In generale, il personale era disponibile (fatta eccezione per una delle receptionist).
Le dotazioni, l'arredamento e l'edificio stesso sono di un'altra epoca, fatta eccezione per l'aria condizionata in camera, che è recente.

На свої гроші хороший готель, старий, але охайний та чистий. Персонал привітний. Вид неймовірний.

Cons:

Сніданок дуже бідний, жодної теплої страви. Свого пляжу нема. До пляжу йти від 5 до 10 хвилин.
