Good location if you want to stay N of the Piaza

Decent place. Decent rate when on sale. Hotel staff are a bit shy but nice. Good location (near all the sights up in the north end of town). You need to call for airport pick-up (they didnt reply to emails).

Richard

Disliked: Staff & service
The service at the Soramba was generally poor, ranging from having to constantly wait for service while staff talked to each other, and the woeful front desk, who promised a letter for me on three occasions, and, that aside, were generally disengaged. Two exceptions were the cleaners, who were excellent, and one of the night managers, who was proactive and responsive.

Preis Leistung sehr gut! Kontaktaufnahme vor der Anreise allerdings sehr schlecht. Offenbar können die kein Englisch bearbeiten. Haben angeblich keine meiner drei E-Mauls bekommen. Wenn ich keinen Freund vor Ot gehabt hätte, der in das Hotel gegangen wäre, um eine Klärung herbeizuführen, hätte der Flughafentransfer nicht geklappt.

Comfortable, clean hotel

Clean and comfortable with competent staff. The free breakfasts have a wide variety of dishes, and you can order omelettes for no extra charge. The staff speak English reasonably well, so logistics are fairly easy (getting taxis, changing booking details, etc.). The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the city. The only negatives are things beyond the hotel's control: occasional city-wide power outages and water shutoffs.

Excellent value for money

Good value for money hotel. Small but adequate balcony affords lovely views of the daily comings and goings of the city and the mountains in the background. Great place to spend a day or two acclimatising to the altitude. Easy walking distance to St George's Church and can also walk to the main museums. Food adequate to good. Affordable laundry service. Only downside was the erratic internet service and inadequate hot water.

Loin et vieux

Hôtel très excentré, et peu pratique pour les voyages d'affaires. Le trafic est intense et on perd beaucoup de temps en transports. Personnel aimable. Locaux vieillots. Chambre correcte, à la propreté approximative. Pas d'isolation sonore sur la rue passante. Pas de rideaux opaques. Difficile de dormir si l'on est sensible au bruit et à la lumière.
