HOTEL GYM RATER

Time of visit: November 2022

There’s a fair selection of dumbbells – up to 50 lbs/22 kgs – and two adjustable benches to work with – although no decline option.

There’s also a barbell set up allowing you to do anything from squats and bench presses to deadlifts, etc.

There’s also a nice selection of pin-operated machines – e.g. seated leg-presses, chest/rear del flys, ab crunches and biceps curls.

There’s even a cable machine – but a lot of handles are missing.

As for cardio, there’s a stationary bike, a treadmill and a cross-trainer.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary towels? No.

Does the hotel gym offer complimentary water? No.

Although towels not ideal for wiping away sweat dripping from your face, at least there’re paper towels and sanitizer sprays available for the equipment.

The hotel gym itself is spacious and everything appears clean and well-maintained.

According to the sing on the door leading to the hotel gym, the opening hours are from 8am to 9 or 10pm. However, when checking at the reception, I was informed that it didn’t open until 9am due to cleaning. It seems to be related to COVID 19 issues. However, nobody was wearing any masks and there weren’t any other visible COVID 19 restrictions. Regardless, opening hours need to be much more flexible – ideally, they should be 24/7 – period.

With a barbell setup allowing for both squats, bench presses and deadlifts, the cable machine as well as a fair selection of dumbbells and cardio equipment, I didn’t really lack any equipment. That being said, the cable machine only had D shaped handles.

Not sure! The hotel gym itself is actually quite well equipped – but the inflexible opening hours is a pain in the ass, to be honest.
