Just Average Stay

good locationstuffy roomannoying lampshades
The location was good. I could walk to several spots.
The room was stuffy. The air con apparently does not switch on in the winter. Annoying lampshades by the bed kept getting knocked over. The minibar prices were ridiculous. They even tried to sell me a small polar bear for EUR 19!

the location was acceptable though the breakfast service was standard.
The minibar prices felt extortive. i also disliked the cheap cuddly polar bear they put in the room. It was for sale for eur 19 and felt tacky. the tv in the room didn't even work.
