Good location. Very good food.
Pros:

Superb breakfast.
Very cozzy bed.

Cons:

Our building was in another building, if you open the window , you just open the window to the hallway. And it had to be mentioned , it was a bit claustrophobic, no real air flow. And then someone with a suitcase goes , it seems like the plane flies by.

Pros:

Aamiainen oli erinomainen ja monipuolinen. Hotellin aamiainen oli hotelliasmiaisten parhaimmistoa. Yleiset tilat olivat siistit ja viihtyisät, kuten myös huone. Henkilökunta oli ystävällinen ja palvelualtis. Plussaa oli lisäksi, että hotellissa oli pieni kuntosali.

Cons:

Pidin kaikesta.
