Erityistä symppis henkilökunta, huolehtiminen💛 Talon tunnelma; ala-aulan saneeraus vanhaa Domusta kunnioittaen. Huoneissa siistiä, mutta pelkään, että suohku pilaa pian WC:n oven, ja suihkun lattian saumat pitäisi tarkistaa!!! pikku huomio: huoneessa vain 1 juomalasi oliko tarkoitus, että wc-harja lilluu vedessä? ystävällisin terveisin huone 408C

コストパフォーマンスが良い

駅から少し離れていたため、トラムを使用しました。部屋自体はとても広くスタッフも親切でした。また、ホテルの目の前にスパーマーケットがあったのも便利でした。1点気になったのは、部屋にある暖房器具の効きが悪かったことです。
