It served the purpose and the view was nice, but it's a noisy area
Pros:

Great location and view of the church. Nice breakfast . Staff was helpful!

Cons:

The bathroom is only 3x4 ft so the sink is literally in the shower which did not drain well. The entire area floods even behind the toilet and all the way to the door. We had to use extra towels to keep floor dry. Some mold in tile.

Top Lage. Frühstück ist ok. Das Personal freundlich.

Удобно
Pros:

Отель в самом центре. Если пользоваться аэропортным шаттлом , то остановится в 3х минутах ходьбы от него. Отличный завтрак (колбаса, сельдь, сыры, яйца, сладкое). Внизу есть бар. В день можно бесплатно делать себе 3 горячих напитка. Несмотря на то, что ванная комната маленькая, душ сделан очень удачно, не было разливов воды. Рядом есть кафе и супермаркеты.

Cons:

Нет лифта (нужно быть готовым поднимать самостоятельно чемоданы). Комната была очень маленькой (для человека покрупнее будет сложно развернуться). В ванной, когда заселилась, пахло котиками. Но потом запах пропал (или я привыкла :))

Pros:

Posizione ottima e personale disponibile . Colazione discreta

Cons:

L’hotel è diviso in due edifici differenti… noi avevamo la camera nel secondo edificio e per andare a fare colazione dovevamo uscire dall’edificio. La pulizia non era il top e l’acqua della doccia aveva un odore un po’ strano. Il bagno era piccolissimo, la doccia era praticamente sul mini lavandino. Due piani senza ascensore con i bagagli non sono il massimo.
