Pros:

Close to city and you can walk down to the water.the buffet breakfast was really good.

Cons:

If you get a room on level one you need to walk up a lot of stairs.not good with luggage. We had to upgrade to another room so we could use elevator.

Top Lage, ideal für uns um einen kurzen Zwischenstopp hinzulegen
Pros:

Modernes Concept/ super gelegen im Stadt Zentrum

Cons:

Weniger gut fand ich das Frühstück. Es war soweit reichhaltig und frisch, aber das gewisse Extra hat gefehlt. Schade: bei Booking wurde parken „ kostenlos“ vermerkt, dies stellte sich dann auf Nachfrage als Tippfehler heraus und wir mussten pro Tag 30 EUR bezahlen.

The best experience in Italy so far this summer.
Pros:

The staff were amazing in all aspects! I would write a whole page if I am to talk about best customer service and representation. The rooms were super clean and everything was in order. Breakfast was the best part of the morning to look forward to.

Cons:

The elevator broke down on the last moment of our stay but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t manage.

Pros:

hôtel très propre, bien placé près du centre, gare et port. Les chambres sont bien spacieuses et le petit déjeuner et très frais. Nous avons apprécié d'avoir le parking juste à côté surveillé par des caméras.
Je recommande vivement

Good for a short stay
Pros:

Friendly staff, spacious room and large comfortable bed. Great location half way between the train station and the old town.

Cons:

No bar, despite a bar, with photos, being advertised on Booking.com. From other reviews, it seems there hasn't been a bar for some time.
Bathroom decor is a little tired and could do with a refresh.

Correct mais pas exceptionnel
Pros:

Le personnel du petit déjeuner ! Merci a vous !
La propreté, la localisation et le fait d’avoir un parking à disposition (certes payant mais quand même la.)

Cons:

Le fait que ça coûte 30€ par jour le parking.
Puis pour un 4 étoiles il n’y a pas vraiment de service d’hôtel j’entends par là une personne pour vous aider à monter/descendre les bagages etc… C’est très sommaire pour quasiment 300€ la nuitée.
L’ascenseur est minuscule donc même à 3 personnes fines c’est déjà trop compliqué d’y entrer.
La décoration est un peu spéciale, c’est de l’art moderne mélangé à de l’ancien.
Le petit déjeuner n’a absolument rien d’extraordinaire, les jus sont industriels, tous les jours ce sont les mêmes produits proposé.
Pas de fenêtre dans la salle de bain, peu de lumière de manière générale dans la chambre.
