Buono ma ....
Pros:

Ottimo posizione centrale e la colazione. Buffet ricco per una colazione super.

Cons:

Pulizia camera assolutamente da migliorare. Non è sufficente cambiare le lenzuola. Sotto il letto trovato sporcizia e sul mobilio polvere. Scolo della doccia intasato. Abbiamo dovuto fare intervenire il personale.

Correct, maar had er meer van verwacht
Pros:

Goed gelegen in het centrum. Ontbijt was ok en gevarieerd, maar kon beter. Het eten (noedels, rijst, ei,...) was koud ipv warm.

Cons:

Onze kamer had een vernieuwd raam en nog een oud raam waardoor we heel veel lawaai hadden van buiten. Spijtig, want in de kamer van de kinderen was er slechts 1 raam en die hadden minder last van lawaai ook al zaten ze aan de straatkant
