Pros:

Eccezionale il fatto che venga messo a disposizione un pass per i mezzi di trasporto per giorni di soggiorno e lo staff molto disponibile

Cons:

L'hotel è abbastanza datato. La vasca è davvero poco pratica. Il condizionatore faceva un gran rumore e non si poteva stare con la finestra aperta per il rumore fuori. Prezzo un po' eccessivo date le criticità.
