Andreas

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Durchs Band schlechter Service: nach dem Check-in muss man das Zimmer selbst suchen, beim Abendessen wird einem kein Tisch gezeigt, beim Frühstück wartet man immer über eine Viertelstunde auf den Kaffee, am Morgen früh läuft im Gang vor dem Zimmer schon der Staubsauger. Diese Liste lässt sich beliebig erweitern. Die Zimmer sind eher einfach, klein und nicht komfortabel. Das Hotel ist eine Enttäuschung, vor allem wenn man die enorm hohen Preise in Betracht zieht. Es entspricht eher einem Mittelklassehotel.
