Nice hotel nice staff
Stayed night of England Slovakia euro 2024 plus one further night
Only complaint was that the drink prices were Raised 2 euros on day of game even for residents, above advertised prices
This is blatant profiteering,as residents should have been charged prices as advertised on price boards
Room good
Staff good

The front desk receptionist was not knowledgeable, I asked if there were any bottle waters in the room, the receptionist said no. So we purchased multiple bottles of water, whenwe got to the room, there was a complimentary bottle.

Prima Hotel
Alles war prima, etwas vewundert war ich über die Übernahme des Hotels durch die Welcome Hotels. Scheinbar hängen damit auch die Preiserhöhungen ab Mai zusammen
