Pros:

La vista eccezionale e la pulizia

Cons:

Camera anonima,
Di luxury ha poco.. non ha la presa vicino al letto.. non c'è una macchinetta per il caffè (cosa che solitamente nei 4 stelle c'è)..
Una camera essenziale ma senza i servizi "luxury"

Poteva andare meglio
Pros:

Ottima posizione con una bellissima vista sul lago. Il receptionist è stato molto accogliente e ci ha aiutato con i bagagli. La camera era carina ed essenziale. La colazione molto buona!

Cons:

Il letto era molto scomodo purtroppo e la doccia non era all’altezza della struttura in quanto il doccino era veramente troppo piccolo. Inoltre la notte in cui abbiamo soggiornato qui c’era una festa nel giardino sottostante alla nostra camera che di per sé non ci ha creato nessun problema il problema vero è stato il successivo spostamento dei tavoli da parte dello staff per più di un ora esattamente sotto alla nostra camera per preparare la sala per la colazione dell’indomani…fino all’una e mezza del mattino ci hanno tenuti svegli non curanti degli ospiti che magari volevano anche dormire un po’…in un hotel di questo livello non lo trovo accettabile.
