Reviews
Receptionist were very helpful when he had a problem with the AC in the room and facilitated a change.
Well. The toilet was placed in the shower cabin.You had to be an Acrobat to get in there. A glass wall towards the toilet made the toilet Perfect for left handed, on the right side was the glass wall. As the toilet was inside the shower made out impossible to keep the toilet paper there. What a joke. Unbelivible. I asked them in the reception for another room but they told me all was the same. Shower with built in toilet. My friend little fatter than me had to xxxx in the lobby toilet. We had a double bet taken apparat to two singles and so soft when you turned you almost fell on the floor. We stayed 2 nights but that was one to much. A very different experience
