We were told the water is not fit for drinking as our hotel is new and something to do with pipes. When we protested it was agreed we will get two bottles of water everyday. On the last day they charged me for the bottles. When I protested only one bottle was removed from charge. A petty amount but it was extremely unprofessional. The picture of the building we see is the view not their own building.

Convenient for an overnight stay near the airport sure, but the rooms are extremely outdated and dirty. Small and awkward bathroom. Zero amenities available in your room, hairdryer, clothes iron and ironing board. Our stay for 1-night at €408.00, $670CAD was an absolute disappointment
