the hotel's location is advantageous. it is a short walk to the ferry dock. the room i had was clean and well equipped. i found the sun terrace to be a positive feature.
the shower system did not function optimally. water temperature shifted randomly from cold to hot. this seemed a deliberate effort to minimize water usage. the rooms are comparatively small for the price.

My room included a balcony facing the lake. The panorama room size was generous, providing enough space. I found good pillows and also a decent air conditioning unit, which maintained a comfortable temperature.

The price was way too high for what I got. The room felt old. The shower was difficult to use because the bathroom was super tacky. The pillows were terrible, and the bedding wasn't good quality either. Cobwebs covered the dirty balcony. The air con had a weird smell and didn't really cool the room.
