The breakfast had a good variety of products to choose from. I especially liked the swimming pools. They were quite large compared to other hotels. I also enjoyed the jacuzzi and saunas.
The room was not VERY nice. The toilet was loose from the ground. The air conditioning worked, BUT it was not very cold.

the breakfast offered a good variety, and i appreciated the fresh options (especially the fruit). the spa area was very clean, with multiple pools and saunas available. i found the location convenient, a short walk to the river, and public transport was easily accessible.

great selectionroom cleaninglong delay
the breakfast had a great selection (i especially liked the pastries).
the room cleaning was not good at all. i found hair from previous guests in the bathroom and it took three hours for someone to come and clean it. this delay was unacceptable especially since i had already waited for the room to be ready.
