BUENA RELACIÓN CALIDAD PRECIO. VOLVERÍA A ESTE HOTEL
Pros:

El desayuno es bueno, aunque faltaría un poco más de fruta. La ubicación es perfecta, a 12 minutos del aeropuerto con parada en frente del hotel y a 15 minutos del centro. Zona muy tranquila al lado del Zoo, podía ver los flamencos desde mi habitación! Mención especial a Kamila de Recepción que nos ayudó a resolver el problema con el equipaje de una forma rápida y efectiva, gracias Kamila!!

Cons:

El colchón de la 450 hay que cambiarlo, es imposible descansar en él, tuvimos que pedir doble duvet para que amortiguara un poco. En cambio, mucho mejor la cama de la 341. Lástima que en esta última habitación solo nos quedamos un día, porque era perfecta.

Cons:

There needs to be more transparency about the hotel being updated slowly. We only saw pictures of the updated rooms and ours was very dated.

Pros:

Location and cleanliness. Staffs are nice and approachable.

Cons:

NO wifi in the rooms not even for TV. Very very weak wifi connection in the lobby (very important for foreigners). Cleaners went inside the rooms even though we already posted the tag outside to not touch the room.

Pros:

Kahvaltı kötü ağırlık domuz eti peynir yok domates yeşillik yok ınternational hizmet veren bir otel sadece English breakfast düşünmemeli

Hotel accanto allo zoo
Pros:

La struttura è accogliente. Le camere sono spaziose e insonorizzate. I teli e le asciugamani cambiate quotidianamente. Ci sono in dotazione shampoo e bagnoschiuma e phon. Ho gradito caffè e tè in camera con biscotti. Ho usufruito del ristorante per una cena ed era tutto ottimo. LA stanza è un po' demode ma pulita. Mi è piaciuto molto avere la fermata sotto l hotel che porta sia all aeroporto che al centro città

Cons:

Unica pecca la moquette. Ma sta dappertutto per tenere gli ambienti caldi. La posizione è decentrata e quindi fuori a parte lo zoo non c è un gran che
