great locationamazing locationcomfortable roomcozy roomtrain stationbad soundproofingloud pipesnoisy pipesbarking dog
the location was amazing! it was very near the train station. the room was comfortable enough. i did not try the breakfast though.
For a four star hotel, i had higher expectations. the soundproofing was very bad. the room next to us had a dog. It barked at all hours, it came right through into our room. there were also pipes that run water down from other rooms near the bed. You could hear it.

orange juicecappuccino preferenceoverwhelmed person
The breakfast offered a good selection. Freshly squeezed orange juice was a highlight at breakfast each morning. The staff learned our preferences for cappuccino after the first morning. We did not need to ask again.
The restaurant seemed understaffed during dinner. One person was overwhelmed while managing guest requests.

small sinkcramped room
I was disappointed with the room size. It felt quite cramped. There was barely enough space to move around, let alone unpack properly. The bathroom layout was also a problem. The sink was tiny and offered very little counter space. The lack of storage made it difficult to keep things organized. I found the compact design inconvenient.
