Reviews
- 1. Construction works exactly over my room. When I asked reception to stop it they do not do anything. They renovate some rooms all over the hotel so be ready for a noise. 2. Water is everywhere, I’m not joking, after each rain you will get a waterfall in your room, moreover, it is not safe, because of electricity. 3. From time to time staff forget to tidy up the room so you will need to call to reception and ask for cleaning. 4. Strange hostess behavior in restaurant - they will propose you a table in a crowded area whereas second half of restaurant could be almost empty. 5. Smell in the room is bad, all pillows and bed have a damp smell.
