Prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
Pros:

Lokatie is heel centraal gelegen, ideaal! Prachtig uitzicht vanaf het terras.
Kamers zijn schoon.

Cons:

Heel gehorig, ligt aan drukke weg, veel buitengeluid. Ontbijt is niet heel bijzonder, gewoon simpel maar was voor ons niet heel belangrijk.

God lokation.
Pros:

Beliggenheden var rigtig fin og morgenmaden var okay. Restauranten havde en fin udsigt fra tagterrassen.

Cons:

Der var nogle ting der trængte til at blive repareret. For eksempel løb der vand ud på gulvet, hver gang vi trak i toilettet. Vi klagede ikke, for det var tydeligt for personalet.

Top à presque tous les niveaux
Pros:

Situation géographique, confort de la literie, personnel agréable, petit déjeuner sur le rooftop !

Cons:

Ce commentaire est valable uniquement pour les personnes sensibles du sommeil :
La seule chose qui a été difficile c’est le bruit de la circulation dehors, pas assez insonorisé. Mais c’est personnel car la personne avec qui j’étais n’avait pas ce problème.

Posizione eccezzionale
Pros:

la posizione eccezzionale per visitare la città! la colazione servita sulla terrazza con affaccio sul ponte è fantastica! Camere molto grande e Pulita! Bagno enorme! nonostante la poszione centrale ottima l'insonorizzazione delle stanze!

Cons:

la mancanza di ombrelli di cortesia per gli ospiti è una grave mancanza per la struttura soprattutto considerando quanto può essere piovosa la citta!! per la colazione consiglio di aggiungere la possibilità di degustare oltre all'ottimo Thè turko anche un buon caffè espresso!
