1) I was actually looking for a hotel with breakfast on Booking.com, but Booking.com offered me a hotel where I had to pay extra for breakfast. Be careful with this site, otherwise, they might charge you a huge bill for breakfast at the end.
2) I had an early departure and asked to have breakfast at 7 am. But they were closed until 8 and offered to prepare a picnic breakfast instead. I'm publishing a photo, it turned out to be incredibly small and terrible. It even cost 21 euros (!), although I assumed it would be free, thinking that breakfast was included in the price. This seems like a scam for money.
3) There is no main light, I turned on all the lamps, but it was not enough for working.
4) They also charged me for the minibar, which I didn't use - but I only noticed this later, as I was leaving early and didn't have time to review all the items on the bill.
5) Another surprising thing, a staff member at the hotel asked me for a 50 euro deposit for some reason, and at check-out, he didn't even remember it. It seems he thought to keep it for himself or what? This is very unprofessional. Good thing I remembered to move money back.
6) And the taxi cost not 33-35 euros as promised in hotel, but 38 to the airport, although through Booking it could have been ordered for 31. And the difference of 7 euros it is 8 kilograms of buckwheat in my country.
7) The room itself is quite compact, there are no hooks for jackets at the entrance, nor any stools to sit on while changing shoes. It was hard for the child to stand. There was a shower, not a bathtub, one wardrobe for clothes, and a narrow table which was impossible to work at with a laptop. Moreover, it had a glass surface, so it was simply impossible to use a mouse on it.
