The staff proved helpful. Breakfast tasted great. I liked the thermal pools.
The room seemed tiny and styled with a dated, cheap design. Online photos exaggerate the room's appeal. Ceiling lights did not function in my room, and despite reporting this to the reception, they remained unfixed for two days until I left. I felt very inconvenienced.
