Pros:

Неплохие завтраки и расположение рядом с Excel.

Cons:

Уборка плохая, в последние дни чай и молоко вообще не ложили. Жили в семейном номере на 4х, дают всего одну баночку воды. В номерах воняет, окна не открываются. Есть бассейн, нет халатов. Отель далеко от центра. На ресепшн не хотели давать счет, хотя Booking писал, что счет должен выдавать отель. Сняли за завтрак за 10 дней, хотя в реальности мы завтракали 9 дней. На ресепшн обещали исправить, но по приезду домой, банковская выписка подтверждает, что сумму сняли за 10 дней. Не рекоммендую этот отель.

Soggiorno confortevole
Pros:

​Struttura moderna e molto curata. Ho apprezzato particolarmente il comfort dei materassi, davvero eccellenti, e la praticità di avere in camera sia il bollitore (per tè e tisane) che il frigorifero.

Cons:

​Nonostante la prenotazione fosse per 4 persone, al nostro arrivo il set di asciugamani era solo per 3. Inoltre, il phon in camera inizialmente non funzionava. Devo però sottolineare che il personale è stato molto efficiente e ha provveduto immediatamente alla sostituzione e a fornirci la biancheria mancante.
