very friendly people and a nice view
Pros:

The staff tried to speak in English with me until they recognized that my Portuguese is quite fluent. Then they switched. I got nice advices for eating and parking.
Parking in front of the hotel was nearly always possible.

Cons:

the desk in the room is nice but could be a bit bigger. There was a round table that I then used for my notebook + additional screen working setup. The chair is comfortable but not a working chair.

personale molto gentile, ottima colazione, stanza e bagno un po carenti per quanto ho pagato.
Pros:

la colazione

Cons:

il bagno (la vasca), il design della stanza persino il chiavistello era un po trasandato in generale tutto molto basic.
PS non c’è una presa di corrente accanto al letto cosa che ho odiato abbastanza.
