All staff is nice and willing. Unfortunately the property itself seems to be left in disrepair. The worst part is the lack of a proper restaurant/chef: food quality is below par. Breakfast is appalling, very little choice and poor quality. Definitely, as it is now, not a 5 star hotel.

Laut Öffnungszeiten ist der pool vom 7.00 bis 19.00 Uhr geöffnet. um 7.45 Uhr war der pool noch nicht geöffnet und nicht gereinigt. Abgesehen von hereinfallenden Blättern, was ich nichta ls grosses Problem betrachte, ist die gesamte Umrandung des pools wirklich schmutzig. Dass Essen (Pizza) am pool ist kaum gneissbar und entspricht den Standrad eiens Pizza take away.

Nice stay but meeting services need improvement

On the positive side, the hotel is conveniently located to businesses, restaurants and supermarket. The staff were attentive, the meals were good (both the breakfast buffet and lunch/dinner ordered off of the menu). The room was comfortable and clean. Needing improvement: The internet was nearly unusable: difficult to download or send files in email, difficult to use voice Skype, long time to load some web pages, connection comes and goes randomly. For our meeting, everyone had to have the same lunch dish, no individual choices or even having half and half. The meeting room had a partition halfway through the room that made it impossible to use both halves of the room, so all participants had to be squeezed into one half.

A decent hotel with a very good kitchen. It is let down by carelessness in housekeeping and being quiet to the point of boring. The restaurant, bar and pool do not seem to attract people other than guests. The location is inconvenient with nothing of interest within walking distance. Partly as a result of this the hotel could do with having a shop selling the basics and some snacks. Next time I will look for something smaller and in the old town
