My stay at Hotel Sonne was a mixed experience. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was ideal just a short walk to the center, I was disappointed by several amenities. The outdoor jacuzzi was closed, and our room lacked expected luxuries like a minibar and comfortable bedding, which made it feel less worth the price I paid.
