Hermosas instalaciones
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

La puerta de ingreso a la habitación era dificil de abrir y tocaba jalarla fuerte porque la manija se trababa, para una persona con problemas en las manos, seria fatal.

Gutes Stadthotel zum Entspannen
Pros:

sehr zentrale Lage, dennoch ruhig, gutes Frühstück, Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten bei einer kleinen Bibliothek, Pool klein, aber gute Abkühlung besonders für die Kinder

Cons:

Wir waren kurz zwei mal hintereinander im Hotel. Das erste Zimmer lag im ersten Stock über dem Innenhof und war sehr hellhörig und mit einem offenen Bad ausgestattet. Gestört hat mich besonders das nicht zum Schlafzimmer geschlossene WC. Beim zweiten Mal hatten wir ein Zimmer im EG beim Pool, wunderbar ruhig und mit einem tollen modernen Bad.

Muy recomendable. Silencioso, cómodo y precioso
Pros:

El hotel está ubicado en una casona preciosa, decorada con mucho gusto y bien conservada, con unas instalaciones cuidadas y cómodas. El personal fue encantador y el desayuno, una maravilla. La habitación era muy amplia, preciosa y la cama comodísima. Está ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y silenciosa pero muy cómoda para ir andando a todos los puntos importantes. Muy recomendable

Cons:

Por decir algo, y por si puede ayudar a mejorar. Las luces en la habitación no contaban con un interruptor general para poder apagar/encender desde la cama y había pocos sitios para poder colgar toallas o ropa mojada, pero solo lo comento por si puedo contribuir.

Pros:

La posizione centrale

Cons:

Per un hotel a 5 stelle é inammissibile non avere un condotto di areazione nel bagno, un armadio per 4 persone e tutto in una stanza. Un hotel a 3 stelle alla metà del prezzo fornisce gli stessi comfort

Pros:

Τα δωμάτια γενικότερα χώροι και όλο το ξενοδοχείο ήταν υπέροχο με απίστευτη αρχιτεκτονική! Το προσωπικό ήταν ευχάριστο και εξυπηρετικό!

Cons:

Μόνο στο πρωινό υπήρχαν κάποιες ελλείψεις και ίσως θα μπορούσα να το εμπλουτίσουν περισσότερα πράγματα.
