Toll, ich komme wieder und nehme gerne wieder das Donatello
Pros:

Wunderbar zentral und auch mit öV beziehungsweise zu Fuss alles problemlos erreichbar. Zudem war das Personal ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Der frühstückskaffee von der Maschine war lausig, Dann gab es aber auch ohne Aufpreis einen an der Bar und der war super. Das Frühstück war für Italien tiptop, nur gegen Ende der Frühstückszeit gab es nichts mehr Rechtes.
