The booking process was very smooth and without any inconvenient. We had the freedom to decorate the room as we wished and the private bar worked well! They also provided a karaoke with a projector :)
The room was way too hot for a summer evening and there was no air conditioning system! Several times the guests had to have a break outside as it was impossible to stay in there for long
