“After the stay there was a double opinion: the hotel is clean, good soundproofing, delicious breakfasts. However, tactless staff: could break into the room for no reason: you can get into a very delicate situation. There were some incomprehensible write-offs from the credit card, I dealt with the administrator for a long time. It is problematic to connect to the Internet, but it is possible. In general, in order to make a pilgrimage for a couple of days, the hotel will come down, but I am sure that there are better places!”
