"The bed could be more comfortable; the pillows are too high, and the plastic bed protector makes it uncomfortable every time someone moves. The bathroom, besides shower gel and shampoo, has no other amenities. The breakfast was good. The indoor pool, although reservations are required, was full of families and children. The sauna wasn't working properly. The staff were very friendly and always helpful, but a 4-star hotel costing €180/night leaves something to be desired in terms of amenities."
