"The breakfast was very nice, plenty and tasty. However, a cover of a power socket was missing and below the bed it hadn't been cleaned for a while. But the worst was, that the announced small size of 15m² were much overstated. I assume it to be around 12 m² - the king-size bed did not leave space to actually walk around the bed! And the window could be opened fully. When trying to incline it, it hung freely by only one hinge - quite scaringly."
