i was a bit disappointed. the room got really cold and the hot water was only lukewarm. at breakfast, the sausages were pale and seemed uncooked, with red inside. i wish they paid more attention to these details.

small room covered pool
the room felt quite small (a bit cramped, really) and the shower cubicle was even smaller. i struggled to turn around in it. the pool was covered, so i couldn't swim. i later learned i could have asked for the cover to be removed, but it wasn't offered. so that was disappointing.
