Izvrsna lokacija ,ali skupa za smještaj koji nudi
Pros:

Lokacija je više nego izvrsna,većina znamenitosti je na pješačkoj udaljenosti

Cons:

Klima nije radila tjekom cijelog boravka,temperatura u sobi je bila prilično visoka ,imali smo neki ventilator koji je bio bučan.Soba je prostrana ali mračna .Hladnjak u ormaru koji se pregrijavao,i sef na polici tako da nismo imali gdje ostaviti stvari nego držati u koferu na podu.Čudan miris od tepisona koji nije izgledao čisto ,trebali bi staviti papuče u sobe.Nije lijepo kad se razmaknu zavjese nečisti prozori.Kupaonica prilično mala u odnosu na sobu treba osvježenje na podu linoleum koji se odljepio i nema vješalica .Sveukupni dojam nije za 4 zvjezdice

Ottimo Hotel in posizione centrale ma tranquilla
Pros:

La posizione centrale ma tranquilla e il letto grande e comodo

Cons:

Orario delle pulizie sempre il pomeriggio, è successo qualche volta che siamo tornati in camera dopo le 15.30/ 16.00 perchè eravamo usciti al mattino abbastanza presto e la camera non era stata ancora pulita

Amazing staff!!!!!
Pros:

The staff there were beyond friendly and so so kind and helpful. A young African American girl was there with an Hispanic young man and they were so beyond kind to me and made me want to give a good review

Cons:

The toilet had an issue but when I told the young lady, she immediately tried to resolve it

MAL CALIFICADO
Pros:

Únicamente la ubicación

Cons:

Habitación pequeña. No hubo lugar para el equipaje, ni para colgar las toallas, desayuno 5 puntos, 1 día no hicieron la limpieza de nuestra habitación
NO ES UN HOTEL 4*
Se desprestigiar ustedes al ofrecerle
Nadie ayuda a recepcionar el equipaje, hace falta subir 3 y luego 2 escalones para ingresar al ascensor
Soy fiel a Booking, HASTA AHORA
PAGO LO QUE CORRESPONDE y luego LA REALIDAD ES OTRA

Cena neodpovídá kvalitě v porovnání s jinými hotely v centru.
Pros:

Milý personál, čistota, skvělá pozice v centru.

Cons:

Okna bez možnosti otevření, nefungovala klimatizace po celou dobu pobytu - nahrazeno odvhlčovačem a větrákem - zatuchlý vzduch na chodbě i pokoji. Opakující se nabídka snídaně.
