You can take alcohol from the main bar to your room: the minibar is not stocked with wine or beer, so guests carry several glasses of beer themselves. Beer is served in glasses only, not in cans.
Beer from the bar to the room — glasses only
The bar operates on a full self-service basis, not just for wine. Glasses and bottles (even champagne) can sit unattended for several days, confirming very loose staff oversight of alcohol.
Self-service — general policy
If the hotel alcohol feels too diluted, guests recommend buying spirits in duty free or bringing your own bottle. Cola is usually available at the hotel, so you can mix your own drinks yourself.
