Appearances, appearances… The hotel looks very good on the outside, with great staff and good looking amenities (good bed, shampoo, and the such). However, quickly one realizes that it is all appearance. Not reality. The minifridge FROZE everything in it. Absolutely NO OUTLETS to connect anything to, meaning one has to connect and charge phones to only one very inconveniently placed outlet in the middle of the room. The coffee machine and water heater did not work. The cleaning was superficial, lazy, incomplete, both since we started our stay (and one has to “ask” for it. The telephone was disconnected when we arrived. The television was of very bad quality. Absolutely zero privilege of staying in the hotel for eating in the restaurant - 1 hour wait time (even though half the restaurant was empty). Is this what going to a hotel is in 2025? Not worth the price.
