Is there a gym?
No. They have a partnership with a nearby Neoness gym for €12/entry, or you can ask for a yoga mat/weights kit for your room.
How is the breakfast?
High quality buffet with fresh pastries, eggs, and fruit, but at €22, it's pricey. Great for a lazy morning, skippable if you want to explore local cafes.
