Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut und das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ausser im Restaurant beim Frühstück.

Cons:

Das Zimmer vermittelt das Gefühl, als würde man in einer Abstellkammer eines Restaurants schlafen. Man hört jeden einzelnen Laut aus der Küche sowie aus dem Restaurant – sogar das Klirren und Spülen des Bestecks.

Das Zimmer verfügt über ein Fenster, das ins Treppenhaus im Inneren des Hotels zeigt. Dort brennt rund um die Uhr das Licht, das direkt ins Zimmer scheint.

Der Abzug im Badezimmer läuft permanent und sehr geräuschvoll. Er liess sich über Nacht nicht ausschalten, was eine zusätzliche Lärmquelle darstellt – neben den Geräuschen aus Küche und Restaurant.

Und die Decke: Sie war extrem dünn und so klein, dass man sich als Einzelperson) kaum richtig zudecken konnte. Zwar gab es eine zweite Decke im Zimmer, diese war jedoch nicht bezogen und daher nicht nutzbar.
