VERY friendly reception. Room large, but the bedroom area had very little light: only lights were from reading lights. TV had no English speaking channels. No exercise room. Breakfast had nice selection, but the food was luke warm at best (cold eggs!).
The elevators (2) have one button to signal up or down. Meaning, I'm on the 5th floor and want to go down: an elevator appears that is going up, so I wait until the doors shut, and hit the button again; now the second elevator appears, only going up, so I do the same thing. And what happens? The first elevator appears again, and again going up! Solution: get on the first elevator that appears, even if it's going up! What a waste of time and inconvenience.
The heat is very difficult to control, meaning it's either too hot or too cold.
The bathroom sink has no room for toiletries.
The shower is actually one of the best I've found in Europe.
The sitting area is very nice and comfortable.
While there is no closet to hang clothes, the two hooks that are provided are sufficient.
There is no dressing table to store clothes, but there are drawers by the refrigerator, which work okay.
The refrigerator is large and roomy.
It could be much better than it is.
Room Tip: Hard to; the negatives are such that I probably won't return to this hotel.
