spacious roomslaundry machinesamazing roofpoor englishinflexible servicebooked tables
I found the rooms were quite spacious. The laundry room washing machines were comprehensive. They also had a safety lock. The music room and roof were quite amazing.
Hotel personnel did not seem to understand English well at all. The service lacked flexibility when requesting dinner with young children. No reservation was possible. Staff said that all tables were fully booked. Nobody used these tables during the waiting time.
