séjour qui ne restera pas dans nos mémoires
Pros:

La situation de la chambre au milieu du village

Cons:

Hôtel très bien si vous n'avez pas de bagages. Le parking recommandé est à plus d'un kilomètre et pour vous y amener il vous faut payer le parking et 15 euros supplémentaires pour vous y conduire !
Le petit déjeuner est plutôt frugale

Un bon rapport , et une fois arrivé à l hôtel - pas simple- séjour très agréable. En plein cœur du centre historique
Pros:

En plein cœur des Sissi, hôtel très typique. Le patron nous a donné un plan et fait tout le planning de visite. Nous n avions plus qu à suivre ses instructions.

Cons:

Il faut savoir que le parking est assez loin et il faut obligatoirement prendre la navette pour rejoindre l hôtel car vous traversez tous le sassi pendant 900 mètres , ruelles très étroites et de nombreux escaliers. Épuisé en arrivant ! Petit déjeuner pas très varié.
