Iconic hotel from the socialist days that's well maintained and is still luxurious and quite relevant today. That said, it's got some smallish issues. It feels a bit like it belongs to another era.
The carpet, as usual in hotels, is a bit smelly and they perfume it to cover the smell, which is not great if you don't want to inhale perfume. Speaking of smell, our neighbors have been smoking on the terrace a lot which should be illegal anywhere on these premises, not sure if it's allowed on terraces and balconies, but it's definitely a major problem. There are almost no power outlets in a large fancy apartment. There was no electric kettle, only a strange espresso device that didn't seem to work, or at least needs an instructions manual. The beds seemed great at first until we realized they have memory foam mattresses. But generally, they invested in quality for everything, furniture, appliances, bathroom things, windows, doors, so on.
The main indoor pool is large, from 1.5m at one end to 2.2m at the other. A bit heated, not too chlorinated. Two small pools for children and a few jacuzzis that we haven't used. An outdoor pool I think, but we haven't seen it. Two saunas, the wet one was particularly interesting because: hot. Two showers only in the pool area.
And the breakfast was special, varied, luxurious. The sweets section was a bit less amazing, but I was impressed with the honeycomb rack, you never see that anywhere.
