Un hotel d’altri tempi
Pros:

Mi è piaciuto l’esterno dell’hotel perchè ha mantenuto il suo stile e la posizione.

Cons:

Il bagno, in particolare il lavandino è troppo piccolo. Il riscaldamento inesistente, a parte un piccolo termo a corrente. La colazione, pagata in loco, non è stata di mio gradimento.
