Comments
This hotel gym isn’t bad at all! There’s good lighting, everything’s clean, there’re big mirrors and a pretty decent selection of equipment.
 
Although there’re only 4 plates of 44 lbs/20 kgs at the barbell bench press, it should be enough for most hotel gym goers. It would’ve been nice if they’d had heavier dumbbells, but again – it’s good for a hotel gym.
 
They don’t have any exercise mats, and it’s a hard floor, so you can’t do any floor work, stretches, sit ups etc.
 
Opening hours are 24/7.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! I’m here for four days and will find plenty to keep me going in this hotel gym.

There’s a spa right next to the hotel gym.
The cardio equipment looked quite old-school but was working properly.
It’s a quite small hotel gym, but it had what I needed for my workout.

No, not because of the hotel gym. It’s too small – even if it’s better than nothing.

Comments
This hotel gym actually felt like a full-on gym!
Opening hours are from 8am to 7pm, as I recalled. However, being on holiday hours, I think they open at 9am normally.
They sell energy drinks, protein and even has its own little shop where you can buy gym wear!
I was happy to see they actually had a bench and squat rack, but also cable machines.

Yes! It’s truly one of the best hotel gyms I’ve been too.

Comments
Really nice hotel with high quality service but the gym is just squeezed in with way too little space and equipment. When I was there, we were 8 people trying to work out, but we had to stand in line. The equipment is old and there are no mirrors either.
