Dopo la fregatura del traporto gratuito - che gratuito non era - da Aeroporto a Hotel, tutto ok.
Pros:

la gentilezza delo Staff

Cons:

Sicuramnete come ra prsentata la scheda e l'offerta gratuita, che poi non si ü rilebata tale, di u taxi per raggiungere l'hotel da Aeroporto. SI INTERPRETAVA GRATUITO MA ABBIAMO DOVUTO SBORSARE 40.-- EURO. Quindi un'offerta non corretta da parte di Booking. Attrarre il cliente i questo modo è scorretto veramnete.

Piccolo hotel in posizione strategica
Pros:

Posizione perfetta: centrale e silenziosa. Buona la colazione, prontamente rifornita di quanto finiva o scarseggiava. Camera spaziosa . Molti ristoranti nelle vicinanze

Cons:

Unico neo ma è un sofismo: bagno un pó buio. Luci in reception si potrebbero migliorare. Comunque tutto bene e lo risveglierei

Pros:

Skvělé umístění přímo v centru, kousek od metra

Cons:

absolutně neodhlučněné pokoje. Z pokoje nad Vámi je slyšek každý krok, celý strop se otřásá. V recenzích jsou uváděny perfektní snídaně, dle mého názoru jsou normální, např. vajíčka chybějí úplně

Excelente localização com conforto e boa relação preço x qualidade
Pros:

A localização é excelente, faz-se de tudo a pé para as atividades turísticas.
O conforto da cama também é impressionante, dimensões king, roupas de cama e de banho de qualidade. Todos os ambientes estavam muito limpos e a equipe de atendimento era sempre solícita.
Precisamos sair antes do horário do café da manhã e, após aviso no dia anterior, nos foi entregue um lanche na recepção pela manhã. De maneira geral, o café da manhã tinha opções de confeitaria e de frutas.
Parabéns a todos!

Cons:

É muito pontual, tem mais relação com hábitos pessoais do que a qualidade do hotel: não havia ovos no café da manhã. De resto, em termos de proteína, havia queijos, embutidos e iogurtes, que serviam de alternativa.
