Pros:

La piscine, mais elle ferme à 19H.
La vue.
Une des réceptionnistes était très pro.
Proche du téléphérique.

Cons:

Un hotel 4 étoiles qui ne fournit pas de bouteille d’eau, une seule serviette de douche, quasiment 2 bouteilles de savon remplies d’eau et aucun accessoires de douche (comparé à d’autres hôtel). Pas de serviette de plage. Équipements très vieux, TV qui ne capte pas certaines chaînes. Le restaurant du matin n’est pas très varié, manque de choix en fruit. Une des réceptionnistes n’était pas agréable.
La climatisation qui était très bruyante.
Éloigné de la gare.

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.
