Para pasar una-dos noches bien, sólo por ubicación.
Pros:

Hotel básico, bastante viejo, habitaciones pequeñas, pero céntrico lo que le da muchos puntos por el precio. Limpieza bastante por encima.

Cons:

Las camas bastante incómodas. Desayuno bastante escaso.

Ottima posizione
Pros:

La posizione è perfetta per accedere al centro ed è vicino alla stazione. Economico, personale cortese e disponibile.

Cons:

Il bagno ha un bide’ richiudibile sotto il lavandino, molto scomodo. Stanza non particolarmente silenziosa. Sostanzialmente pulito, ma pulizia migliorabile
