I didn't have hot water the first night - the very attentive night watchman found me the key to the hotel spa but that... More

The hotel is located at a busy crossroad. The tiny pool was, although the weather was nice, covered and could not be used. The first day internet did not work and since it was a Sunday, could not be fixed until the next day. Very positive though: we received the complimentary upgrade promised by the Gold Card for the first... More
