Die Lage

− Das family luxury Zimmer war sehr schlecht aufgeteilt - das Badezimmer war winzig - es wurde sehr schlecht gereinigt - es war sehr kalt - es gab fast kein Licht - die Betten waren zu klein - das Zimmer war wirklich schlecht ! Wir waren schon oft im Bayleys Hotel - aber diesmal waren wir sehr enttäuscht!

Great hotel and staff, but an unbelievably tiny room.

8.0

I was extremely pleased with the hotel’s location, its beautiful appearance, and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.

− Unfortunately, the room was a huge disappointment. The room was ridiculously small — more like a dog kennel than a proper hotel room. Even though I had booked for just one person, the space was absolutely unacceptable and far from what I would consider reasonable human accommodation. You practically have to squeeze sideways between the bed and the desk just to reach the wardrobe, which is so tiny that it barely has room for a single jacket. It is a real shame because the hotel itself is lovely, the location is excellent, and the staff are wonderful. However, the size of the room seriously affected my overall experience. A hotel of this standard should not offer rooms with such inadequate space, regardless of whether the booking is for one person or two.
