Naturally this is four star hotel not with our hotel standards comparisons. I must reviews agree, that some areas and parts of the room broken or run-down are. The leisure activities were great. Which we however cannot confirm is, that it here around the hour noisy. It was from about 3:00 P. M. a entertainment program starting with music ( silent).

There are very lots of Russians and Canadians … read more
