Cons:

We had money stolen out of our locked suitcase, substituted for another currency so we only realised when we got home . Be careful with this property, terrible.

Gute Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut, auch das Frühstücksbuffet.

Cons:

Die Kunstgegenstände entsprachen nicht meinem Geschmack. Außerdem wirkte es auf mich trist, auch durch das dunkle Holz. Nicht mein Stil.

Wspaniały Hotel.
Pros:

Wspaniałe miejsce dla miłośników sztuki. Korytarze, sale i wszystkie zakątki hotelu przepełnione pięknymi obrazami, rysunkami i grafikami. Pyszne śniadania, miła obsługa i bardzo wygodne łóżka. W tym hotelu można poczuć klimat, który łączy elegancję, spokój i artystyczną duszę. To miejsce ma wyjątkowy charakter i sprawia, że pobyt staje się czymś więcej niż tylko noclegiem — jest również estetycznym i inspirującym doświadczeniem. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto ceni komfort, dobrą atmosferę i kontakt ze sztuką.

Cons:

Nie ma tu takiej rzeczy.

Összeségében a célnak megfelelt, reggel elmenttünk este jöttünk
Pros:

Amiket kiemelkedőnek jelöltem,

Cons:

A tv csatornák száma, minősège. A reggeli választék szerény volt, sokszor üres volt a kínáló tál, nem volt szénsavas ásványvíz.
