Przyjemny
Pros:

Położenie; pokój był nowy;

Cons:

Mi podobało się wszystko; ale są pokoje też w innym budynku niż recepcja i restauracja; to może nie każdemu pasowałoby

Pros:

We booked the suite and it was fabulous to have so much extra space, especially with all the bulky winter gear. The private sauna was great for warming the gear too.

Cons:

Breakfasts weren’t great. Some foods not restocked once used.

Pros:

Aamiainen oli monipuolinen. Hotellin sijainti on erinomainen, kaikki palvelut kävelymatkan päässä.

Cons:

Huoneen ulko-oven alta näkyi valoa, ovi ei ollut tiivis alas asti. Tämä hieman ihmetytti.
