My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were clean and had everything I needed, but lacked space to open my luggage comfortably. The breakfast was outstanding with a variety of options, but the soundproofing could be better.
I can't get over how amazing the breakfast was! Scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, including fragola, a delightful selection of dolce, and that coffee - just outstanding. On the downside, the room wasn't the one I originally booked, and unfortunately, the air conditioning is not soundproof, making the street noise quite loud.
