Pros:

Buona posizione per la basilica e i mezzi pubblici.

Cons:

Purtroppo per la colazione non forniscono alcun tipo di alimento senza zuccheri aggiunti.
In pratica se non avess avuto con me questi prodotti avrei fatto colazione solo con un caffè e latte di soia.

Preis - Leistung stimmte nicht, einzig die Lage war sehr gut.
Cons:

Die Möglichkeit zu duschen war extrem eigeschränkt, da es an einem Duschvorhang in der Wanne fehlte und der Schlauch von der Dusche nicht lang genug war, das Bidet war ebenfalls defekt. Frühstück wurde von einem unkompetenten und wenig engagierten Team angeboten. Auch die Qualtiät war nicht gut.
