“Beautiful rooftop pool 25 yards long by 25m across. Lovely to swim in great weather or not. Booking system is quite complex - Wednesday at 9 pm for non-residents for the following week. You then have to go there to pay and then go somewhere else to register that you’ve paid. It’s fine once you’ve figured it all out and everyone is kind and helpful. The water is incredibly warm all year round. Perfectly clean.”

“The pool is lovely but the management is chaotic and unprofessional. However, if you enjoy watching the aquatics manager walk around the pool brushing his teeth then spitting it out into a public water fountain, then this place is for you!”
