Pros:

The bathroom was big, and the room was clean, although it was a bit small for three people. Breakfast was good (eggs, sausages, noodles, butter, and jam). There was free coffee in the lobby. The location was excellent!

Cons:

There is no closet at the rooms

Pros:

Das Zimmer entsprach vollends unseren Erwartungen. Besonders die Trennung zwischen Toilette, Waschraum, Badewanne und Dusche hat uns gefallen. Das Zimmer ist sehr gemütlich.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist sehr spartanisch, kann aber, falls man nicht all zu großen Hunger hat, kurzfristig aushelfen.

Pros:

While the overall place was small, the amenities available was really appreciated! During the summer, we made use of the ice maker and kick started our day using the coffee machine. The staff were friendly and whenever my company and I waved to them in the mornings, leaving and coming back, they always returned one back to us.

Additionally, hotel cleaning service and laundry was fantastic.

Pros:

I really liked the spacious and very clean room. The staff at the reception were friendly and welcoming, and the location was excellent.

Cons:

The breakfast was quite basic and repetitive, with the same limited selection every day, mainly eggs, toast and butter. Unfortunately, the waiter serving breakfast was also rather unfriendly.

Bra läge, rent prisvärt.
Pros:

Bra hotell och bra läge.
Tillmötesgående personal, trevligt bemötande i receptionen.

Cons:

Frukosten har förbättringspotential.
Man måste säga till för att få städat och påfyllt vatten, toapapper mm.
Öppet in till badrummet (draperi).

Consigliato
Pros:

Albergo comodo e pulito con camere sufficientemente spaziose. La posizione è appena un po' scomoda perché in una stradina laterale, ma in compenso la zona è centrale e servita. A pochi passi è pieno di locali e negozi.

Cons:

Lo spazio per la colazione è molto piccolo e intorno alle 9 si crea troppa confusione ed è quasi impossibile trovare un posto per sedersi. In generale quella non è stata una grande esperienza. Il resto però è stato più che soddisfacente.

BUENA UBICACION.
Pros:

LA HABITACION ESTABA BIEN DE GRANDE PERO ERA MUY OSCURA YA QUE DABA A UN CALLEJON SIN NADA DE LUZ.

Cons:

EL DESAYUNO REGULAR Y MUY LIMITADO EN CUANTO COMIDA PARA HUESPEDES NO ASIATICOS, TODOS LOS DIAS SON LOS MISMOS PRODUCTOS Y NO HAY VARIACIÓN.
