눉I think breakfast it is thought too much for local people, a lot of cooked and raw vegetables but not so many options of breaths and fruits or pastries. Cheeses are delicious! But cold meet are not so tasty. The furnitures of the reception are out of fashions, needs to be more cozy and it would be nice that windows of the corner of the building at the first floor are open, to have not light inside and views to the restaurants in the streets
눇The cordiality and helpful of the personal at the checking desk. They are very polite and arrange everything you need as regards excursions, taxis to and from the airport among other relevant things that you need when on holiday.
