Despite the hotel is kind of old and the bath rooms in the guest rooms in need of update, the staff is trying their best to keep it clean and tidy, we really enjoyed our stay. It is very quiet hotel . We used the swimming pool and sauna, they were clean and nice. You need to ask for towels from the reception area or housekeeping ladies. I want to thank especially Natalia from the reception desk for her professionalism and efficiency. Also Miriana the Chef at the morning breakfast who made sure everyone was happy, freshness of the food in great presentation and answering all of the questions patiently with a very beautiful smile. Thank you for having us.
