The breakfast was good. I observed many options available. The hotel restaurant was fairly good with a talented piano player. Staff were professional.
The receptionist gave the impression, she would rather be elsewhere. I noticed, that the dark wood paneling in my room looked pretty old. The location requires taxis to the town center.

The room was a good size and well equipped I found the staff very helpful. The breakfast had many options. The hotel shuttle from the airport was useful. The business centre helped me print important documents.
I noticed the absence of robes in the cupboard though the description mentioned them. I received only one coffee and one water for a two-night stay. There was a kettle, but no extra coffee was provided.

Adequate Rooms but Disappointing Amenities

hidden costsmisleading description
It's frustrating when services advertised as part of the package come with hidden costs. The lack of clear information about these charges and the facilities available is disappointing. This felt rather misleading and impacted my overall stay (left a bad taste).
