  • Hi there -Does standard double room have a bathtub? If not , which type of rooms have bathtub? - will you ask for vaccine proof and negative PCR?

    Hi there! All our rooms are equipped with showers only, so there is no room which provides a bathtub. Due to current regulations (Feb. 2022) a proof of vaccination is needed for leisure travellers, an additional Test is not necessary. Best regards
