Disappointed. We stay here regularly but the hotel was at capacity and the infrastructure was clearly under pressure.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Lights in the bathroom, aircon and mechanism to open the door with the key-card did not work a couple of hours after we booked in. During the night, there was a very strong smell of urine coming through the vent system (aircon not working).

Jó környéken, jó minőségű szálloda, kedves személyzettel.
Pros:

Kedves, segítőkész személyzet.

Cons:

Fura zajok voltak néha a szobában ami a mini bár kompresszora felől jött, és néha a légkondicionálóból.
