À éviter !
L’emplacement était pratique pour accéder à la rue commerçante Le wi fi fonctionne bien
C’est un hôtel de masse et pense pour ! Le petit déjeuner était d’un fade rarement inégalé La chambre était très vieille, peu propre, la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas ou envoyait de l’air qui sentait extrêmement mauvais, il n’y a pas d’aération dans la salle de bain (traces d’humidité), l’insonorisation est exécrable ! Nous étions au milieu des conduites de chasses d’eau et entendions tous les bruits du couloir et salle de réception. L’hôtel était complet, nous n’avons pas demandé à changé de chambre. (L paroi de douche de ma sœur dans une autre chambre a explosé lorsqu’elle prenait sa douche et ils n’ont eu d’autre choix que de la transférer dans une chambre normalement inutilisée pour cause d’humidité) la porte fenêtre de notre chambre ne fermait pas de sorte que nous avons eu tout le séjour de la visite de toutes sortes d’insectes. Certes, nous sommes là pour profiter de la ville mais à partir du moment où nous ne savons pas bien dormir, le séjour est plus décevant ! Nous ne recommandons absolument pas et ne comprenons pas comment cet établissement a 4 étoiles 😞

Picture Perfect Hotel With Good Old Fashioned Service
The location of the property was excellent. The pool was beautiful as was the view from the pool area. Our room was very comfortable and we appreciated the full-length mirror. The included breakfast had heaps of options with espresso and freshly squeezed orange juice which was amazing. The walk to the Corso Umberto and the Roman theatre was not far and we loved exploring on foot from the hotel. We also found the staff very helpful, especially in helping us organise parking.
We wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the facilities more.

Agradable
El hotel está bien, son amables, la ubicación está muy bien y la vista es muy bonita, las habitaciones son del tamaño justo y la limpieza está muy bien, dentro de un contexto de sencillez. En mi opinión no corresponde a una categoría 4 estrellas
