some issues, mediocre experience

visible mold small pool
The cleanliness was definitely an issue i noticed. there was visible mold and limescale in the bathroom. It significantly affected the overall impression. the pool was small and more for relaxation. It wasn't suitable for swimming so i was a bit disappointed. i thought they could have done a better job maintaining basic hygiene.

excellent stay

efficient check-in spacious room rooftop pool
i was charmed by the efficient early check-in. the room was really spacious, it also featured tea and coffee facilities. i appreciated the access to the rooftop pool!
The room felt somewhat tired. The wallpaper needed some attention. the shower also caused some flooding in the bathroom, and this proved to be an issue throughout my stay.

the breakfast offered a wide selection. i noticed many nutritious choices were available, including fresh fruits and whole-grain breads! the buffet also featured a variety of local pastries. coffee and tea stations were well kept and stocked.
