Fără îndulcitori sau dulciuri specifice pentru diabeticii fără medicație, puține produse animale.
Pros:

Curat, personal drăguț.

Cons:

Nu exista la micul dejun meniu pentru diabeticii care controlează boala doar prin regim. Puține produse animale, lipseau îndulcitorii sau vreun fel de dulce specific. Cînd am semnalat la recepție, nu am văzut receptivitate pt îmbunătățire, doar mai multe minute de explicații pentru situația actuală...

Ottima esperienza. Consigliato
Pros:

Posizione Hotel ottima, sulla via principale che porta a Piazza Maggiore.
Pulizia ottima. Cambio asciugamani ogni mattina, anche se non usati.
Colazione a buffet varia, anche se con prodotti "industriali".
Nota: Bidet a scomparsa sotto il lavandino, ma funzionante. Nessun problema nell'utilizzo.

Cons:

Aggiungerei qualche prodotto fresco alla colazione.

Excellent stay
Pros:

I liked location as it was near shops, restaurants and city tour.

Cons:

The breakfast was a buffet breakfast, it was different from what I expected but that is a personal choice which has nothing to do with hotel .

Hotel incomodo , ciudad llena de andamios y carpas en el centro que estropeaban los monumentos.
Pros:

El tamaño de la habitación estaba bien.

Cons:

Pedi dos camas y eran diminutas, la almohada era muy alta y rígida, las sábanas eran rasposas, el baño muy pequeño, no habia espacio en el lavamanos para poner las cosas de higiene ni el maquillaje. El aire acondicionado no regalaba bien y habia que apagarlo y entonces hacia mucho calor, en el comedor del desayuno mucho calor y también en recepción.
Estaba a uno 15 minutos andando a la Plaza Maggiori.
Las zonas comunes con moqueta y el ascensor diminuto. En el armario no podías colgar vestidos largos, se arrugadas porque no cabían en un armario muy pequeño.

Baarikaapissa oli vain kaksi pulloa vettä, toiselle matkalaukulle ei ollut telinettä( matkalaukkua ei saa laittaa lattialle lutikkavaaran vuoksi. tätitettäväni sai juuri hyvästä hotellista lutikoita.

我慢した。
Pros:

駅から近いこと。朝食が普通に美味しかったこと。

Cons:

部屋の冷蔵庫の電源が入らない（コードが断線していた）。眺望ありで予約したが、あったのは天窓だけでした。洗面所の排水口に蓋がないので（壊れている）、小物を落とすと中に入ってしまう。部屋の粗末さの割に値段が高い。
