The room was spacious with a large tv. wardrobe space and a sliding door shower was provided and it was larger than the pictures suggested. breakfast had an excellent variation of fresh baked breads and pastries. the spa was pleasant. It had two pools, gender-separated sauna, and a steam room. they were hot.
The hotel camera was not very pretty. The toilet was loose from the floor though the air conditioning worked it was not really cold

The breakfast was AMAZING!!! There was a buffet-style setup with a huge variety of food and drinks! The wellness area featured three different temperature pools. I also enjoyed the salt cave. The price was cheap. The location was great! The hotel is quiet and right by the Danube River.
Someone charged some beers and Jagermeisters to my room. The staff initially said I wouldn't have to pay, but men from the hotel ran through the car park after me. They waved my check-in form, saying the signature on the bill was similar to mine. My sister and I did not appreciate the accusations.
