Cons:

We ordered a king size bed. We got two single bed mattresses that were pushed together. The joining strip was terrible between the mattresses. The mattresses were different in terms of softness.
Didn't like the fact that you behave parking facilities, but charge customers extra to use them. I've never experienced that before and think it is poor service to customers.

Cons:

The bed and pillows were really hard and uncomfortable. The pillows were also really large in size so kinked the neck when laying down.

Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ ωραίο και άνετο. Το πρωινό ήταν πλούσιο και πολύ νόστιμο. Είχε πολλές επιλογές. Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται κοντά στη στάση του Λεωφορείου.
