Гарний готель
Pros:

Місцерозташування ідеальне - поряд з вокзалами, метро і трамвай поряд, до центра пішки 10 хв., супермаркет в тій же будівлі з відділом кулінарії.
Номера велики, чисті, є все необхідне, з гарним виглядом на Левов міст, ліжко зручне.
Сніданок у затишному кафе в тому ж приміщенні по меню.

Cons:

Голосно чути всі трамваї - може заважати спати.

Pros:

Viaggio in moto, importante è il parcheggio. Ce ne hanno indicato uno convenzionato, vicino, che è andato benissimo.
La zona è centrale e vicina ad una via pedonale, abbiamo cenato in un locale molto vicino e fantasticamente caratteristico.
Colazione non particolarmente abbondante e non self service ma di estrema qualità.

Cons:

Beh, ovviamente non è l'Hilton, tutto va rapportato alla classe dell'Hotel e a quanto si vuole spendere. Tra quelli a basso prezzo, è ottimo.
