Vale il viaggio per il ristorante
Pros:

Personale professionale e accogliente, pulizia della struttura e della camera, cena eccellente.

Cons:

La SPA avrebbe bisogno di qualche ritocco e dovrebbe essere inclusa, anche incrementando il prezzo della camera.

Pros:

Piękny hotel z bardzo przyjazym i pomocnym personelem. Wspaniała restauracja z gwiazdką Michelin. Śniadania wybierane z menu, nie w formie bufetu - przepyszne. Parking hotelowy mały, ale obok jest darmowy parking miejski. Pokoje sprzątane codziennie
