È stato tutto perfetto e il personale è stato pronto a mettersi a disposizione per risolvere un problema che avevamo in stanza (avevamo il getto del condizionatore che puntava sul letto. Penso però sarebbe da risolvere in modo definitivo). L'unica cosa che mi ha deluso è stata chiedere un extra al prezzo della prima colazione, per avere una spremuta di arancia. Il prezzo della colazione non è basso; non credo possa essere un problema far rientrare anche una spremuta in quella cifra. Ma temo sia una pratica abbastanza diffusa. Comunque, a parte questo, la permanenza è stata bellissima e ci tornerò sicuramente.

Great location close to shops, restaurants and tours. Hotel staff friendly and courteous and have a smorgasbord breakfast at adjoining Bistro for 16 euro. Big disappointment was the quality of food and lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. Had dinner at three different venues around hotel with very average offerings at high price (20 - 30 Euros each).
