The Internet connection is described as unusable at times, making any online activity frustratingly difficult. This poor connectivity also affects the TV service, which seems to rely on Chromecast—a setup that often fails due to the weak WiFi signal. Several guests were unable to watch TV because of these connectivity problems and some mentioned the TV being too complicated to set up or entirely non-functional.

Regarding the breakfast offerings, guests expressed disappointment describing it as meager, suggesting that families might need to explore nearby options for a full meal to start their day. Overall, while Anno provides certain conveniences and enjoyable features for family stays, it may not meet the expectations of all family travelers, particularly those looking for extensive activities for kids or modern room safety features.
