Máskor is jönnék ide.
Pros:

Elképzelhetetlenül kedves személyzet a recepción és az étkezésnél.

Cons:

Nincs szekrény a szobában, így gyakorlatilag a bőröndből éltünk. Ez kicsit kellemetlen.

Pros:

La situation et le confort moderne.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner pour la salle restreinte et le choix limité pour un 4 étoiles.
De plus nous avons signalé une lampe de chevet de la chambre arrachée avec les fils électriques apparents sans réactivité du personnel.

Feeling of not being welcome was strong.
Pros:

The gentleman that checked me was very friendly and professional.

Cons:

Apart from the staff member who checked me in, I found the service throughout my stay to be unwelcoming.

The bartender was particularly disappointing. From the moment I arrived, he appeared irritated by my presence and made little effort to hide it. While he never said anything inappropriate, his body language, facial expressions, and dismissive attitude made it clear that I was not welcome. I was consistently polite and respectful, yet I felt like an inconvenience simply for being there. In contrast, other guests appeared to receive much warmer and friendlier treatment.

I also had an unpleasant interaction with a female staff member who I believe was a manager. While I was waiting near reception for other guests to move because they were blocking my path, she abruptly challenged me about why I was standing there. When I explained that I was simply waiting, she responded with, "So why are you standing here?" I found the tone unnecessary and confrontational, particularly as I was doing nothing wrong and was not causing any disruption.

Overall, I left with the clear impression that I was not the type of guest this venue wanted. I cannot say exactly why I was treated this way, but as a guest in my 50s, I could not escape the feeling that my age may have influenced how I was perceived. Whether that was the case or not, the result was the same: I felt unwelcome throughout my stay and would not choose to return.

I would recommend this place for the location, staff, breakfast, and comfort & cleanliness.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of lighting. The place had an elevator which was wonderful and the staff were so friendly and helpful (they booked our cars to and from the airport). The breakfast was also amazing with plenty of choices.

Cons:

The only issue we had was the noise at night as the windows are not double paned, so the noise from outside was not muffled. I would recommend ear plugs to help with sleep. Other than that, there were no other issues the entire time we stayed.
