Fajny pobyt, chociaż krótki. Wrócimy na dłużej.
Pros:

Bardzo stylowy hotel w dobrej lokalizacji. Fajny bar i śniadanie. Pokój wygodny z kilkoma pomieszczeniami i małym korytarzem. Obsługa bardzo pomocna.

Pros:

Výjimečně prostory, pohodlné , dokonalý servis a vybavení. Ubytování splnilo naše očekávání, jak klidnou lokalitou , tak příjemnou atmosférou . Děkujeme.

Cons:

Trochu nás vyděsili při odjezdu na recepci, předložili nám účet za pokojový bar a nápoje v restauraci. Přesto ze jsme nic z toho nečerpali. Po našem odmítnutí to s anglickým klidem respektovali a vlastně se nic nestalo . Tak ze vše v nejlepším pořádku .
