Comfortable rooms, but an overcrowded indoor poolComfortable rooms, but an overcrowded indoor pool
Pros:

The hotel is clean and well maintained. The bedroom is pleasant, and the bed is large and very comfortable. The furnishings are in excellent condition, and everything feels new and of good quality. The bathroom is nicely finished, and the showers work perfectly. In terms of cleanliness and room comfort, the hotel met our expectations.

Cons:

During our stay, the hotel was very busy, and the indoor pool was far too small for the number of guests. There were also far too few loungers, with no additional areas with loungers available. This made it difficult to find a place to leave our belongings and relax comfortably by the pool for longer periods.



Breakfast was otherwise good, but the coffee from the machines was disappointing. It was fairly basic, and I would have expected better quality, especially compared with other hotels we have stayed at.
