Avoid this place!!!!!!! Worst customer service, very rude front desk manager, went to him to complain about breakfast as there is nothing you can eat, they have very bad quality of food, watery juice from the machine, no continu breakfast and just salad. When I requested help they said there is nothing we can do for you our breakfast is like this. Rooms are clean but they only supply shampoo and soap, if you ask about bathrobe it doesn’t exist here you can only get bad quality of towels. Wifiiii can go off, I regret this place never again !!!!

Beim Frühstück war das Personal unfreundlich – nicht einmal ein "Guten Morgen". Ich habe ungeöffnete Marmelade und Butter zurückgegeben und gesagt, dass man sie vielleicht wiederverwenden kann. Die Kellnerin hat sie trotzdem sofort weggeschmissen. Ein bisschen Freundlichkeit beim Frühstück wäre schön gewesen.
