Ár érték arányban nem érte meg. Túl drága volt.
Pros:

A szállás közel volt a központhoz. A reggeli finom volt.

Cons:

Az előre lefoglalt és kifizetett 2 szoba helyett 1 szobát akartak adni először. Szólni kellett, a második szobáért. A szoba kulcsot nem aktiválva kaptuk meg, vissza kellett menni a portára emiatt. A szobák ablaka szürke belső falakra nézett és nem az öbölre. Felújítás volt a szállodában, ami kicsit zavaró volt.

Impossible to Sleep - Train Noise and Lack of Communication
Pros:

Stayed in early Feb '26 and cannot recommend this hotel if you want sleep. The hotel is adjacent to a train crossing, and the alarms/warning systems blared all night long, even with windows sealed tight.
To make it worse, I discovered by chance a white noise machine hidden behind the TV that was never mentioned by staff at check-in. If they know the noise is this bad, they should immediately inform guests about the noise-canceling measures. Disappointing.
