the staff was helpful.

I found that the shower drainage did not work properly. The bathroom overflowed as a result. the air conditioning malfunctioned as well. It remained faulty even after a reset attempt. i also think an upgrade to a suite cost extra, but it seemed only a slightly larger room.

The breakfast was excellent!!! i really enjoyed the rooftop pool. It even had a bar for cocktails. i found the staff to be very lovely, always ready to help. our room included a jacuzzi. This was perfect after our late arrival.

i thought extra charges for the spa were a bit much, especially just to use the sauna. 50€ seemed quite excessive, in my opinion. the shower head had some limescale buildup. i also noticed some black mold in the seams of the sink.
