My room was on the 5th floor under the roof. The whole night, there was a humming sound that caused me to wake up several times. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The daily cleaning was below average, and they just replaced the towels daily.

Festarireissu

Huone oli todella tukalan kuuma...maksettiin kahdesta yöstä mutta ei voitu olla kuin yksi yö. 26 astetta ei mielestäni ole kohtuullinen sisälämpötila. Myös meidän huoneen sängyt oli liian pehmeät ja siskon huoneessa kivikovat, miten sänkyjen laatu voi vaihdella näin paljon?!? Henkilökunta oli erittäin mukava, aamiainen perustasoa ja siisteys oli hyvää.
