Hei ja ikävä kuulla, ettei saapuminen toiminut odotusten mukaan. Ihmisiähän tässä kaikki vain olemme ja joskus saattaa kiireessä hieman tehokkuus mennä asiakaspalvelunkin edelle. Pyritään tsemppaamaan tässä!

Dear Anonymous, thank you very much for your response. We are terribly sorry to hear that room 401's bathroom did not meet your standards. The single rooms are our hotels smallest rooms and their toilet size are comparable to the standard hotel business sizes. Some rooms still have bigger toilets than others and differences might be bigger. For customers who want to ensure a bigger bathroom (and roomsize in general) we recommend to reserve a Comfort Double/Twin or Junior Suite which certainly won't leave you unsatisfied :) Thank you otherwise for your very nice review. Sincerely, Johannes / Reception Helka

Dear anonymous, we are very sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations this time. In case you need a bigger room than our smallest we recommend you to check out our Smart Double rooms or maybe even Comfort or Junior Suite rooms since they are considerably larger and better equiped. Even our smallest hotel rooms are the industry standard sized however for some customers they might feel rather small so we recommend to try some of our more luxurious rooms. Sincerely, Johannes / Reception Helka
