Excelente precio calidad, buen desayuno
Pros:

La locación es excelente. El personal es muy agradable. La habitación era grande y cómoda. Un lugar muy limpio.

Cons:

No es que no me gustó pero el baño si es un poco pequeño y le urge una renovación. Pero a pesar de ser viejito estaba muy limpio.

Bella struttura a due passi dal mare e dal centro città.
Pros:

Camera con cucina super attrezzata. Comodo patio privato esterno nel quale si può consumare la buona colazione. Caffè disponibile 24H e staff estremamente disponibile e accogliente. Nonostante la posizione centrale non si sentono rumori dalla strada (se non avete vicini chiassosi!).

Cons:

Il bagno da la sensazione di essere un po’ datato. In compenso, l’acqua calda funziona benissimo!!!
