I left an expensive electric toothbrush in my room. It was only then that I discovered how utterly impossible it is to reach anyone by phone over there. Reception should always be reachable. Such a bummer.

Normal room, clean with good running water. Low rating was due to ongoing construction which was not indicated in the hotel description during booking. Noise insulation from road noise was good but not from room upstairs. Breakfast was basic and ok.
