As above
Pros:

The room, location and facilities were good

Cons:

The whole stay was let down by my checkout experience. I was not leaving for the airport until 3.30pm so asked for a late checkout. I was told this was not possible and staff were unable to offer me any alternative in order to take a shower and get ready for my very long journey home to the UK. It was a very hot day and I was reduced to having to shower by the pool and use the toilet facilities to change. These were very hot and dark, so impossible to dry hair or see in a mirror to be able to make up. This experience overshadowed all the good things about the stay.

조식없다는 것과 무엇보다 클리닝 서비스가 없는 것은 매우 크리티컬한 단점이었습니다.

Pros:

Top Lage, schönes Zimmer

Cons:

Ich blieb 2 Wochen und hatte ein Zimmer mit nur einer mini Küchenzeile die gar nicht verwendet werden konnte. Man musste quasi das Essen im Bad zubereiten.

Bettbezüge.
