Pros:

Très joli hotel rénové, moderne et très propre. Très bon petit déjeuner et varié, à volonté, avec prix forfaitaire vraiment correct. Le réceptionniste Giacomo est très sympathique et parle le français.
Je recommande ! Très bon rapport quàité prix.

Cons:

Seul inconvénient, comme il est situé en ville, le bruit des véhicules dès 6h si la fenêtre est ouverte. Alors laissez la fenêtre fermée et mettre la clim, et ainsi on n'entend pas de bruit.
Sinon tout était parfait !
