Pros:

Grande ospitalità e professionalità di tutte le ragazze della reception. Grazie di cuore a Juliana, Beatrice e tutte le altre.

Cons:

Prezzo troppo alto per una camera Deluxe "piccolissima" (204), scomoda e con diverse problematiche: aria condizionata mal funzionante e rumorosa, bagno poco pratico (ancora di più per chi ha difficoltà motorie) e con una ventola rumorosissima.

L'hotel è molto ben situato, personale gentile e disponibile.
Pros:

Posizione perfetta, in pieno centro ma silenziosa; panorama dal balconcino della camera notevole (colazione non valutabile: non presa all'hotel). Molto apprezzato anche il fatto di poter lasciare il bagaglio all'hotel (in un armadietto chiuso) anche dopo il check out.

Cons:

-
