Pros:

Questo Albergo è un quattro stelle e si vede nel servizio, nella comodità nello spazio delle camere con terrazzino.
Il letto è una favola! colazione completa, possibilità della palestra, e giochi, vedi tavolo biliardo gratuito! Posizione abbastanza centrale comunque tutto si raggiunge con facilità. Ottimo tornerei!!
