Staff were nice, otherwise.

The parking lot was a catastrophe. A real catastrophe! It would have been OK if hotel had no parking. At reception desk I was told that there is a underground parking. What I was not told was that, as soon as you enter the parking you realise it gets narrower, such that with closed mirrors it is still too narrow for a small bus like Sharan. And, even worse, there is a sharp edge that you have to turn around. Once you manage to get in, you realise that parking places are like metal cages (really strange! with an extra metal roofs! although underground) and a Sharan won't fit inside. There were 5 or 6 normal parking places, but of course they were full. The way out was even worse, and after a 5 minutes try to drive out (with multiple back and forths at two sharp edges, one right one left) I ended up with a damaged rim on my rear left wheel. And that was caused by a metal part which protects the walls! I am not a beginner at driving my VW Sharan. In my view the parking place is designed only for short and low cars, like a mini or a golf. Not more. In fact you see (but too late) from traces on the walls that many cars have been damaged on the way out. I had the right to be informed about this in advance, not discovering it on my own costs!
