Horrortrip
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Das Zimmer war verdreckt, die Bettwäsche schmutzig und das Badezimmer ebenfalls nicht gereinigt. Auf dem WC waren braune Flecken. Die Dusche lief nicht ab und an der alternativen Badewanne war die Brause defekt. Leider konnten wir erst gegen halb zehn Abends anreisen und mussten notgedrungen die Nacht dort verbringen. Aus dem Badezimmer hat es permanent nach Fäkalien und Abfluss gerochen. Ich hab schon viel erlebt, aber das war unterirdisch. Bei der Reklamation an der Rezeption sagte uns der Mitarbeiter, das er unser Anliegen ernst nehme, leider aber keine Alternativen Zimmer frei hätte. Er wollte es an seine Chefin weitergegeben und ich solle eine Mail schreiben. Das habe ich getan, bis heute ohne Reaktion. Das Frühstück haben wir aufgrund der hygienischen Zustände nicht zu uns genommen. Diese Unterkunft ist absolut nicht zu empfehlen.
