I have never stayed in a classic room at this hotel.
But hasn’t all the hotel been renovated?

Looking at the pictures, they do not seem bad at all.



All rooms are equipped with a Tassimo coffee machine and kettle, with multiple capsules (espresso, lungo, decaffeinated).

The minibar is designed like most automatic minibars in the world.

In addition, there is a section on the right to store your personal drinks.

As mentioned, all you have to do is call Instant Service to get the pillow that's right for you.

The choice is yours.

But perhaps it would have been useful to talk about the quality of service, the completely refurbished hotel, the gourmet Hugo restaurant, the large indoor swimming pool.

For our own personal culture, can you name some of the "better hotels" in the same price range?
