I had to move rooms two times due to a leak/water all over the bathroom floor, not only in the first room but also the second room. Luckily the third room was dry…
It was clean and quiet and central.

Missing shower gel and breakfast
Expected breakfast is covered but it is not! Room cleaning is by request! No room cleaning at all if not requested! The room and facilities are quite different from the photos on the website! Room is tiny!

The rooms were tiny, dirty, in bad condition, with cables everywhere, barely any light and nothing like the photos you had on the website. We had to leave the hotel for another one.
