Precioso hotel con un desayuno exquisito.
Pros:

El hotel es muy bonito. Ubicación ideal, cerca del centro de la ciudad y también de la estación de tren y autobuses. El desayuno es de los mejores que he probado. El recepcionista fue encantador y muy amables resolviendo los problemas que encontramos.

Cons:

La primera noche nos dieron una habitación donde a partir de las 5 de la mañana se oía el ruido de un motor. Resaltar que en cuanto se lo dijimos se ofrecieron muy amablemente a cambiarnos de habitación y en ese caso pudimos descansar sin ningún problema. No obstante deberían tomar medidas y atenuar el ruido .

Schönes Hotel in top Lage
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist klasse, sehr zentral gelegen. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es einen kostengünstigen Parkplatz. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und auch das Personal beim Frühstück war sehr freundlich. Das Ambiente hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Zimmer war auch in Ordnung. Das Frühstück war gut (kleines Buffet mit zusätzlicher Möglichkeit, aus einer Karte eine warme Hauptspeise zu wählen).

Cons:

Eine Aussicht aus unserem Zimmer war praktisch nicht vorhanden (Blick gegen eine Wand). Zudem waren wir scheinbar direkt unter der Küche, hier wurde es am Morgen recht früh laut (u.a. monotones Surren, laute Gespräche).

Muy bien situado!!
Pros:

Muy bien situado para ir a la cena centro pero si el bullicio nocturno. Desayuno aceptable, sinceramente no me parece extraordinario. Tiene un parking muy cercano por 3€ todo el día

Cons:

El hombre que nos atendió al inicio en recepción poco cooperativo, aunque luego mejoró. Por otra parte la persona que nos atendió en el restaurante muy atenta.

Pros:

L edificio storico in buona posizione, l efficienza del personale in sala colazioni

Cons:

Struttura che ha deluso le mie aspettative. Non all altezza degli standard 4 stelle. Letto non particolarmente comodo, stanza calda dotata solo di un basico e rumoroso ventilatore. Finestra bloccata, non isolamento acustico
Nulla di piu che un paio di bustine di te nell area bar, niente pantofole.
