Pros:

Всичко беше перфектно!

Cons:

По време на нашия престой някой от другите гости задейства противопожарната аларма и това наложи бърза евакуация в 2 часа сутринта. Иначе всичко друго беше перфектно!

Pros:

A reggeli kiváló volt. Bőséges választék, ami mindig friss volt. Tiszta szobák, kedves személyzet. Nagyon jó elhelyezkedés, Elisabeth line pár perc gyalog, és a libegő is kb 100 m-re van.

Cons:

Meglepett, hogy egy sima üvegfal választotta el a szobát a zuhanyzótól és a wc-től. Nekem ez diszkonfort érzés volt.
