I don’t think the hotel can really be considered a 5‑star property. The staff is good, but the hotel needs maintenance, especially the air conditioning. Also, the bathroom cleaning needs improvement — there are areas with mold. In any case, the stay was pleasant. Breakfast was good, and the customer service and security are impeccable.

The sauna area has to be rebuilt, as there are not space to rest close to it, as well as the bathtub is placed into the sauna, instead of next to them.
