Chambre très grande mais pas propre et lit pas confortable. Je suis arrivée tard à cause de mon vol et personne pour m'acceuillir...j'ai du attendre que la responsable se reveille pour avoir ma chambre. Pas sympatique du tout et pas presente dans l'etablissement...pas de papier toilette, pas d'eau et pas de seeviette. INADMISSIBLE Etablissement très loin du centre ville. Je le recommande surtout pas

HOTEL molto accogliente con uno staff eccezionale.

Un hotel molto carino ed accogliente. Uno staff eccellente con Benge' e Jose a fare di tutto per accontentare gli ospiti. grazzzzzzie ragazzi. Le camere sono pulite e spaziose. Il bagno è pulitissimo. La zona non è centralissima ma un taxi per il centro costa solo 3 euro. Hanno insistito per farci mangiare tutti insieme ed è stato bello davvero. Ritorneremo preso a Casa Branca
