Reviews
Though, here are few things taht wolud need fixing - the fitness room is too samll, having 3 persons inside feels like croud. And the equipement needs to be modernised.
To my amazement, however, I found the bottles for shampoo and conditioner in my room displaying a kind of philosophical emptiness, an existential void so profound that I briefly admired the hotel’s commitment to minimalism. Unfortunately, admiration subsided the moment I inquired at reception and learned that this void was to remain unfilled until 10:00 the next morning.
It seems the hotel holds a belief that cleanliness, like wisdom, should not be rushed. While I can appreciate the artistic nature of this stance, standing in front of a dry shower at 23:00, still carrying the entire day on my skin.
I sincerely hope future guests arrive earlier in the day, or perhaps bring their own toiletries, lest they too find themselves contemplating the metaphysics of an unfulfilled shower. My stay was certainly memorable, though not in the way memory usually prefers. Not counting the guests running through hallways, kids shouting, and wall bangs all night long.
