Pros:

La posizione dell'hotel è decisamente fantastica per visitare il centro della città.

Cons:

Ho avuto delle difficoltà (vedi impossibilità) a spegnere il condizionatore durante la notte, ho dovuto ricorrere a staccare corrente! La saletta per la colazione è un pochino piccola rispetto al numero di persone.
