Un oasis en medio de la ciudad

Es como un oasis en medio del caos de la ciudad con su piscina y zonas verdes

Cons:

Que los alrededores de la piscina estaban muy descuidados pero vimos que estaban trabajando en arreglarlos. También había algo de basura debajo de las escaleras

Buon albergo. Consigliato!
Pros:

L'albergo è un isola felice e silenziosa al di fuori della confusione e del rumore indiano in cui puoi rilassarti e riposare. Gentilissimo il personale del ristorante

Cons:

Accoglienza un pochino disorganizzata ma poi tutto sommato è andata bene
