Das Frühstücksbuffet war gut, es wurde immer wieder, wenn nötig Aufgefüllt. Beim Frühstück eine schöne Aussicht. Nettes Personal.

Cons:

Das Gegenseitige Sprachverständniss. ( Ich sollte mich mehr mit Italienisch befassen).

Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt!
Pros:

Für mich war alles perfekt. Die Lage, das Personal, das Zimmer. Darüber hinaus hat man mir ein Ticino Ticket offeriert und zu jeder Zeit konnte ich im Frühstücksraum einen Kaffee nehmen. Auch die frühe Check In Zeit war nach meiner Ankunft eine Wohltat!

Cons:

Es wurde grosszügig geheizt und die Luft war etwas trocken... Das hat sich beim Lüften nicht verbessert...
