Reggelit leszámítva pozitív
Pros:

Modern jó elhelyezkedés. Kedves recepciós .

Cons:

A reggeli kritikán aluli !!! A kávégép rossz, 6 ember két zsemlén harcol. Jobb lenne ha nem is lenne így csak egy nagy leégés.

Pros:

L'hotel è in una zona bellissima, bello e accogliente con un'atmosfera romantica. A due passi dal Bastione dei pescatori e dal castello di Buda ha la fermata degli autobus dietro l'angolo. Lo staff è stato molto gentile con noi dal primo all'ultimo giorno. La colazione ci ha soddisfatto, abbastanza varia secondo i miei gusti. Spero di tornarci di nuovo, al massimo lo raccomanderò.
