El fin de semana el desayuno dejaba mucho que desear. La persona encargada de sacar la comida no la sacaba. Más de un huésped se quejó por la falta de alimentos

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.
