Nothing..everything was excellent

The rooms are huge. We had two bedrooms, and living room, (three connected rooms) which form one appartment. One bedroom with living room would have been enough. Advantage of having two bedrooms connected is that you have all corner section of the floor in the palace for yourself, so that you have room with two entrances, and do not meet anybody in the lift. It is great that we could sleep in actual palace which used to belong to tzars. The swimming pool is nice, the temperature is a bit cool, which was ok in hot weather. The water in pool is little bit salty, which is great, and refreshing idea, compare to usual pools in Europe containing chlorine desinfection. The restaurant is kind of modern, their food is a pure splendour! Both room service, and breakfast are our top gourmet experience in Europe! We went to a little sightseeing tour of the palace, the pink entrance, and the central part of the palace is not normally accessible, we saw it only because the splendid palace serves as a conference venue.

We got only third floor room, where the windows are quite small. Second floor rooms have much higher windows, and probably also higher ceilings. Bath tub did not retain water, so we could not have a bath. I doubt that the three rooms have 120 sq. metres, when the one bedroom with living room is 60 sq. metres. Adding just one more bedroom does not double the room. We were scolded by a female staff in the end of our palace tour, that we had no business of walking in there, which was a little shocking.
