Amenities
9

Super comfy bedden. Badkamer echt luxe
Pros:

Het bed en de kussens. Gratis parkeren. Dicht bij alles en tegelijk op rustige locatie. Heerlijk. Zeker gaan we terug komen.
Badkamer was ook erg mooi, netjes en luxe.

Cons:

De badkamer rook vies door de riolering maar het hotel kan er niks aan doen want dat komt door hoe het gebouw gesitueerd is.

Pros:

המיקום והנוף

Cons:

שאין מקלחון. האמבטיה היתה עמוקה מידי ולא נוחה. אין שום סגירה וכל המים נשפכים לריצפה. בקבוקי הסבון למיניהם לא נוחים לתפעול ואין מקום לשים את הציוד האישי.

Топ ниво
Pros:

Изключителен хотел, за мен чистотата е на първо място, където и да отседна и в този хотел беше на най-високо ниво. Персоналът е много любезен и отзивчив, възхитен съм от стила с който е обзаведен целият хотел. Макар за краткото време успях да използвам и спа зоната чистотата и там беше на топ ниво, има всичко необходимо. Завърших престоят си с много обилна и вкусна закуска! Благодаря, ще го посетя отново!

Cons:

Всичко беше отлично!
