Hotel Admiral

10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely hotel, easily reached by the free public transportation accessed with booking a room. Very helpful and friendly staff, two pools, comfortable, clean rooms. When my grandson forgot his backpack in a Migros store in the center of town, the reception called the store for me in Italian, and discovered it was being held in Lost and Found. Grazie bene!"
