“A wonderful stay.
The communication was incredibly friendly - I really needed support with a few things.
The only point of improvement: Wi-Fi didn't work. Not quite ideal for a work retreat, but bearable today with mobile data.”“Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt.
Die Kommunikation war unglaublich freundlich - ich habe echt bei ein paar Sachen Unterstützung benötigt.
Einziger Verbesserungspunkt: WLAN hat nicht funktioniert. Für eine Arbeitsklausur nicht ganz optimal, aber heute bei mobilen Daten verschmerzbar.”Translated from German ·
