Pros:

Ottima Accoglienza con piccole brioches disponibili gratuitamente alla reception. Personale molto gentile. Colazione con prodotti freschi di buona qualità e variegata. La camera è dotata di phon e la doccia è spaziosa. Pavimento senza moquette finalmente! Parcheggio interno gratuito.

Cons:

Bagno cieco senza ventola di aspirazione. Posizione non troppo centrale ma comunque silenziosa.

Lovely decor & food. A comfortable stay.
Pros:

Lovely decor. Great offering in the bar/ restaurant. Comfy bed.

Cons:

EV chargers weren’t working - one of the key reasons I chose the hotel. Not hotel’s fault but frustrating.

Ottimo hotel, un po’ caro per i servizi offerti ma era la settimana di ferragosto. Nel complesso pollice su, da rivedere
Pros:

Posizione non lontana dal centro, ma serve la macchina, la pulizia degli ambienti e il parcheggio privato regolato da sbarra, possibilità di fare cena (ottima) nei giorni feriali

Cons:

La colazione ai minimi termini, la cui qualità non sempre ha raggiunto la sufficienza.
Camera ai minimi termini.
