Thank you for Your review. We have floor heating in every bathroom, but I think that in Your room either it was too low or it was switched off. I´m sorry for the inconvenience this caused You, but I hope that otherwise You enjoyed Your say with us. With best regards, Tiina Määttä Hotel Manager More
