    Good stay overall but a few problems with the bathroom and communication with staff.

    The shower pressure was very poor. The towels presented to us were two bath towels and two hand towels.The shower floor was very slippery, we had to put one hand towel in the shower to avoid slipping and use the other as a bath mat. When requested, we were given more towels but there was never a rubber anti slip mat for the shower. It was potentially very dangerous. The room was made up very late in the day but the bed was left unmade. When questioned, the room attendant seemed to indicate that the bed was private business and was not her role. Speaking to reception did not help as English was not spoken and google translator failed in getting the message across.

    The location turned out to be quite good. Some nice restaurants within easy walking distance. Lovely thick towels and a nice breakfast.The room was large and comfortable. The ambience of the hotel was quite pleasant.

    Just mattresses in the room I stayed first 3 days

    Everything so good But mattresses in some rooms must be renewed as soon as possible, causing backache. Reception is nice and helpful

    The street in front of the hotel is under construction (maybe forever) and when raining/snowing it was quite challenging to not get your shoes dirty.

    Very central location, very spacious clean and warm room. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. Breakfast was very good. Staff was polite.

    The hotel didn't have the room I had booked - the Junior Comfort Suite with 2 single beds - so I had to downgrade to a Standard Twin. Much smaller room but a lower price. There must be some discrepancy between the hotel systems and Booking.com?

    Clean compact room. (Standard Twin) Good value for money. Good breakfast buffet.

    very friendly, English speaking staff, generous that we could extend breakfast over the given time and also depart 2 hours later without extra cost than their departure time - we appreciated it very much.

    Daily water replenishment and room cleaning need to be reminded before they do. At the same time cannot use the AC due to its time restriction. No remote control provided in the room

    The rate was great and unbelievable breakfast buffet. Excellent menu then the staff especially Mr Baybol was so understanding and helpful.
