There was a bedbug in my bed - they said they weren’t able to move me to a different room since it was fully booked, so I lost money on my 2nd night which was unfortunate. They used a steamer around the mattress which is helpful, but you never know if there were any leftover. I wanted to get my clothes dried to kill any possible eggs or anything and they charged me 6 euros, which was also kind of a bummer I couldn’t use it for free since the bed bug was in their bed. Good food from the kitchen
