Pros:

La colazione era ottima, così come anche lo staff molto gentile. Posizione più centrale di così non si può.
La camera era buona, con un bagno molto grande e aria condizionata che funzionava molto bene.

Cons:

Per me il soggiorno sarebbe stato da 9 o da 10, purtroppo però si sente davvero tanto rumore proveniente dal ristorante di sotto. Le camere non sono per nulla isolate acusticamente, e per chi ha il sonno un filo leggero questo è un problema.

Pros:

Good location, nice room.

Cons:

No water in the room. 'drink out the tap' message.... the water out of the tap could just about have boiled an egg and the water in the restaurant was 5EUR for a refilled bottle. Bit scandalous. There was a fridge in the room, why not fill/ seal and put bottles in there?

Breakfast also a bit paltry.
