Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta y estaba limpio

Cons:

El servicio de desayuno es bastante caos, muy lento. Hay un plato que te preguntan en mesa y no siguen un orden, nos vinieron a preguntar pasada 1 hora y gente que había llegado después ya le habían traído el plato de desayuno.

Vale a pena voltar.
Pros:

Muito bom

Cons:

O único problema, para quem se desloca em viatura própria, é a distancia entre o local de estacionamento e o hotel, com o consequente trajeto em piso irregular com os "trolleys".

Óptimo e confortável hotel no centro de cidade, com algum barrulho à mistura
Pros:

Gostei o serviço, o conforto do hotel e a localização mesmo no coração da cidade.

Cons:

Não gostei o cumprimento da cama (tenho 1.92 m e os meus pês não cabiam na cama....). A localização é muito central, mas isto também implica a aceitação de barrulho. Durante a nossa estadia havia festas na cidade e uma vez que o hotel é cercado por bars e esplanadas, onde passaram os festejos, isto causou alguma perturbação.
