Nice location, nice room but temperature way too hot in the 1st room... 27,5°C inside versus -11°C outside... And no possibility to cool down the room temperature. But the hotel team was able to change our room for a new one having widows on the outside (and not on the inside hall), it was way better ! Thanks a lot !
