Non poteva andare meglio
Pros:

Soggiorno praticamente perfetto! Stanza bellissima e pulita, posizione poco fuori dal centro storico ma servita ottimamente dai mezzi (è comunque a 20 min dal centro a piedi). Colazione completa e variegata. Ciò che ci è piaciuto di più è però la cortesia del personale. Alessio in particolare ci ha dato dei consigli davvero incredibili per visite ed esperienze!!

I enjoyed my stay at the Salisbury Hotel
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. Transport was close by.

Cons:

The bathroom flooded every time I had a shower. The shower screen wasn't big enough, but it also leaked from under the glass shower screen and ran out onto the floor. It made having a shower hard as the bathroom was quite small. The small bathroom was fine but hard when the floor outside the shower was wetter than inside the shower.

Comfortable hotel in a convenient location with excellent staff!
Pros:

The staff were all so friendly and helpful! Convenient location only 20-30 min walk from most areas of interest and the hotel was so quiet.

Cons:

The beds were super narrow and the shower door wasn’t exactly effective at keeping the water in the shower making the long step down from the bath super slippery

Pros:

Good breakfast

Cons:

1, Window can’t be opened
2, Stains on wall and shower floor
3, An extra folded mattress is put on top of a twin bed- weird enough, yet it’s too soft to support the body weight.

Séjour de 5 nuits en couple
Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé à 30 minutes à pied du centre ville et avec des bus à proximité.
La chambre est spacieuse et le lit est confortable, nous étions au rez de chaussée avec vue sur le jardin.
Le personnel est accueillant et sympa et même avec la barrière de la langue une hôtesse d'accueil s'est démené pour nous aider à comprendre. Nous partions en excursion tôt le matin et nous avons eu un sac avec le petit déjeuné pour cette matinée.

Cons:

La pièce du petit déjeuné est en sous sol et si une personne sort dans le jardin et laisse la porte ouverte (porte de secours) nous sentons la fraicheur de l'extérieur.

Pros:

O quarto tem um tamanho incrível, a vista é linda, o quarto possui vários utensílios como por exemplo secador de cabelo, ferro de passar, cafeteira, frigobar. A cama é extremamente confortável, possui sofá e poltronas.

Cons:

O rejunte do box estava preto, dando uma impressão de sujo e o café da manhã estava muito ruim, sem variedade, todos os dias com as mesmas refeições, frutas verdes, suco amargo.
