Solides, gut geführtes Hotel
Pros:

Das Hotel ist super gelegen zwischen Bahnhof und den Haupt-Sightseeing-Orten. Es gab auch selbst im kleinen Einzelzimmer eine Klimaanlage.

Basic
Pros:

Mic dejun minimalist, am găsit aceleași produse (ouă fierte, mortadella, pâine și câteva produse dulci, astea îmi vin în minte acum)
una dintre doamnele care ne-a întâmpinat în data de 3 august a fost drăguță și ne-a servit cu cafea, cealaltă din diminețile 4, 5 și 6 august nu ne-a întrebat dacă vrem cafea.

Cons:

Camere prea mici, fără balcon, ai senzația că te sufoci

Pros:

The receptionist helps us with our questions. They are very courteous and genuinely looking to help their customers.

Cons:

The people serving in the breakfast area. I do not know if they are shy, or if it is the language barrier, but they are practically mute. They should be trained that at least speak the official language, after all we are in Italy. They don't look to their customer and avoid eye contact. I caught one lady one morning who was talking to the receptionist while in the breakfast area were about three table unattended, meaning that people had their breakfast already, they were gone, but the tables were with the dirty dishes still on. She finished her conversation with the receptionist and went directly back to the kitchen without checking the breakfast area. I ignored if that was her job or not. Perhaps that is the attitude.
