All employees friendly and helpful. But an especial thanks to Julia (chef breakfast). She took care of my wife food restrictions with lots of care. She is 100% dedicated to her job, and to her clients! Congrats, Julia!

Hotel adequado, com café da manhã ok. Desaconselhado para quem tem mobilidade reduzida, uma vez que é necessário subir e descer escadas em todos os quartos e no café da manhã.
