Comparing to other 5-stars hotels we've been to: 1. Bathrooms - No wet wipes or air freshener. But it was spacious 2. Breakfasts - Cold buffet available, no toaster. Small choice of cartoned fruit juices available upon request - only orange and apple, no grapefruit, pineapple. ”Selection of cheeses/meats/cakes” label was 'obvious', - would be more helpful to label each fully. Small choice of yogurts (one). Hot dishes ordered from breakfast menu. Ordered mixed omelet and got plain egg. Ordered 2 teas and got one. Tea at 5 star we would expect proper loose leaf quality tea, but we got 'flavoured green tea' bag. And a slice of lemon that was just skin and no lemon. 3. Room - few choices of coffee/tea available; no milk (you can ask for more). Only very small cups available (not suitable for tea). TV. Lack of streaming like Netflix. Only terrestrial, mostly Polish with very few in English. Wifi was strong and fast in room though. Bed was comfortable and large. Room temperature was adjustable only by a fiddly electronic screen. Far easier are physical dials and controls. 4. Pool - small, more for relax and play, than swimming. 1 or 2 can swim at a time. It was chlorinated (not ozone). Crazy that it closes at 10pm, so after day out/evening meal you have very little time to use it. Midnight or 11pm would be more acceptable. Should be a time for adults only use of the spa - eg 9pm to 11pm at least, as it was very noisy with so many young children. It was 'winter break' time so we can understand the number of young screaming children, but feel that a reasonable limit could be in place, time-wise. 5. Sauna - Good that there was a it is a 'proper', traditional, Finnish, healthy, correct sauna, (nude or in a cotton wrap) but this was not enforced. This meant that ignorant people were sitting in wet swimming costumes. This is dangerous, unhealthy and insanitary, as the chlorine form the pools evaporates in the hot sauna air, and the dyes and the plastics from the costumes cause skin problems and the body cant sweat properly. Others sat directly on the wood causing damage to the sauna, and unhygienically sweating directly on the wood. Aromas/oils were available upon request, but that meant asking for it regularly, 4-5 times. 6. The outside deck (to jacuzzi) very slippery, like ice-rink! This should be improved or the ice cleared. 7. The 'jazz pianist' was monotonous, boring, and seemed to have only one style. 8. Paid parking only (50zl a day). We would expect that included.
