Negative Reviews
negative:
Soundproofing is not satisfactory
According to many guests, the walls are thin so they can hear the sound of TV's and plumbing, doors closing and opening, and footsteps. There is no need to panic though, since earplugs are provided in the rooms.
negative:
Internet connection is a hit and miss
The free Wi-Fi barely exists inside the rooms, so many guests noted that they have to use their gadgets at the hallways. However, you can use the desk computers with reliable Internet access at the reception area.
negative:
Sauna closes way too early
Many guests are a bit disappointed because the sauna closes at around nine in the evening. Thus, you are encouraged to use it early to get the best out of this relaxing hotel amenity.
