Credo sia una delle migliori strutture per qualità e soprattutto posizione. La si apprezza già dall'ingresso nella Hall. La colazione è molto buona e variegata.

Great hotel in centre of town
Pros:

The bed and pillows were really comfy so helped with a good night's sleep. Staff spoke good English and were friendly.

Cons:

The lighting in the room wasn't very bright and the temperature of the shower was low, I prefer a hotter shower. But as we were there for just 2 nights it wasn't an issue that needed resolving.

La reception, lo stile dell’hotel e i servizi annessi.

Cons:

Un po’ più di pulizia nelle stanze

Bon hôtel pour une nuit de transit
Pros:

Très bonne localisation en plein cœur de la ville avec tout ce qu’il faut autour pour manger. Boire un verre. Faire des achats ! Personnel très accueillant ! Vue sur mer très chouette !

Cons:

Une bouilloire serait top dans la chambre ! La Clim était un peu bruyante !
