Excellent Stay in the Heart of It All!

wide choiceenjoyable activitiesfavorable locationinconsistent temperature
The breakfast had a wide choice of meals including vegetarian options, which I found Excellent. I had access to enjoyable activities, specifically billiards and table tennis. The location is certainly favorable, as it sits conveniently on the river bank.
The air conditioning would automatically reset to 26°C whenever I left the room. This made keeping the room cool overnight a real challenge. The lack of consistent temperature negatively impacted my sleep.

good locationriver accessnice swimminghot roombroken air conditioningbright petrol station
The location was really good. I could walk along the river to get to the city center. The beer garden across the street was nice. The swimming pool was super.
The room got very hot. I was told the air conditioning did not work. They brought me a fan but I needed a screwdriver to put it together. My room faced a gas station and it was very bright, so I couldn't leave the window open.
