ottima posizione ma assolutamente da scegliere una camera con vista lago!
Pros:

La posizione è fantastica e molto centrale, proprio di fronte al lago e a pochi passi dal Tempio del Dente. L'hotel pulito e la colazione buona.

Cons:

le camere sul retro sono un po' tristi e le parti comuni un po' sacrificate

I Han an issue with my Swiss pocket knife, that disappeared from the room. When I complained, one person brought it back but never explained clearly why it was missing.
