Leider musste man das Personal beim Frühstück immer suchen. Es wurde weder abserviert, noch gefragt ob es noch Wünsche gäbe.
Badezimmertür konnte man nicht schließen.

Pros:

Все чудово. Швидко, комфортно. В номері тепло і затишно. 👍🤗

Cons:

Трохи погана шумоізоляція в кімнаті.
Маленька ванна, незручно трохи митися, краще завжди душова. Немає душової лейки, тільки тропічний душ і ванна🤔
