Much traffic around the hotel; a quiet garden room take. Rooms are big and of the category accordingly equipped. The restaurants unfortunately no 5 star category. Coarse wood tables with plastiksets allow maximum cafeteria atmosphere arise. The food was either not flavored or there was the whole oriental spice … read more
