Reviews
The breakfast (€18) was very poor, consisting of cheap ham, sausages, and wilted salads. There was no egg station either.
The rooftop pool was open, but the water was so cold that it was unusable. When I went back in the evening, the water was warmer, but it was too crowded to use.
Additionally, when I made the reservation, I mentioned that it was my wife’s birthday and expected something like champagne or a fruit basket, as some hotels provide for special occasions. However, there was nothing. When I asked the front desk just in case, they said they do offer such services but were unaware of my request. Instead, they said they would prepare something special for breakfast, but all they did was place a birthday napkin on the reserved table. Haha.
The reception did screw up my cab to the airport, but I believe that was more of a screw up by the cab company.
I did not pay for this room, but this would be worth the price for anything from 50 to 70 euros per night.
I stayed here 4 days on a business trip and highly do not recommend this hotel.
