Para Repetir
Pros:

Todo el edificio estaba renovado, instalaciones modernas pero con ese toque histórico. Tanto las habitaciones como las zonas comunes eran muy acogedoras, lo mismo el personal del hotel, desde el dueño hasta los trabajadores.

Cons:

Todo estuvo perfecto.

Soggiorno mamma+figlia
Pros:

Struttura caratteristica, accogliente e di buon livello. Personale e proprietario molto cordiali disponibili e gentili. Zona tranquilla e molto bene collegata con i mezzi pubblici

Cons:

La colazione è un po' ripetitiva, ma perfetta per brevi soggiorni.
Non abbiamo usufruito della piscina di giorno perché abbiamo preferito dedicarci a visite e mare, ma abbiamo provato a trattenerci sui lettini per leggere e rilassarci di sera ma non è stato possibile per le tante zanzare. Potrebbe essere utile una disinfestazione per arginare la situazione.
Non è previsto il riassetto quotidiano ma se richiesto il personale è disponibile.

Exceptional.
Pros:

Best place to live. Honestly. Its maybe a two star hotel. Its a five star experience. The guy jonas was a gem. He made sure everything was in perfect condition. The location, the nearby attractions and distance to all the attractions is perfect. I stayed three days there. Best value to money.

Cons:

I disliked the fact that i only had three days there. Wish i had more.

Hotel acogedor, trasmite tranquilidad
Pros:

Destacar la amabilidad del personal. El hotel genial, con muchos detalles( café, agua, dulces..) y la piscina, un remanso de paz en medio de la ciudad. Desayuno bien y adecuado a precio. Sin duda para repetir.

Cons:

Como sugerencia un toldo en la terraza. Evitaría q el jacuzzi se calentará y se estaría mejor. Pero repito todo genial.
