If you arrive more than 15 minutes after the reservation time or do not show up, it will be considered a "no-show" and your seat may be allocated to people physically waiting at the Rooftop.Swimming pool: Closed from Thu, Oct 1, 2026 until Fri, Apr 30, 2027

Pros:

Genel olarak Social Hub konseptini seviyorum. 5 yıldız bir otel konforu ile kendi çamaşırınızı kendiniz yıkayıp, yemeğinizi pişirebildiğiniz apart ayrıcalıklarını bir arada sunuyor. Lavagnini özelinde ise çatı katındaki bar belki de kentin en iyi manzarasına sahip. Özellikle de geceleri.

Cons:

Sevmediğim hiçbir şey yok. Sadece konakladığım dönemde havuzu onarımdaydı. Sanırım artık hizmete açılmıştır.

Pros:

El desayuno, y el café muy buenos.
Con la linea de tranvía en la puerta se puede estar cerca de la catedral en poco tiempo, e ir al aeropuerto sin necesidad de taxi

Cons:

La iluminación de la habitación era muy pobre y escasa. El sitio para poner cosas muy escaso

Tolles Hotel in super Lage und mit top Blick über die Stadt
Pros:

Das Zimmer war zwar klein - hatte aber alles was man braucht. Das Bett was super bequem und alles war sehr sauber. Die Lage des Hotels ist super - zum einen für die Anbindung an die Bahn, aber auch zum Erkunden der Stadt zu Fuß. Die Bar mit Pool und Blick über die Stadt ist Wahnsinn.

Cons:

Trubeliger Check-In, Zimmer etwas hellhörig (vor allem Richtung Flur)
