small roomloud street

i felt the room was quite small for the price i paid , and there was barely any space to move around. it got uncomfortably hot , so i had to open the windows even though it was march , leading to street noise from nearby clubs and pubs. the loud music went on quite late , it made sleeping difficult. the room needed better sound insulation , especially considering the location.

the superior caravan on the roof was such a treat. it felt secluded and special, with a unique perspective of the area. the breakfast was delicious with fresh ingredients and plentiful options (especially the pastries!). i found the staff helpful, assisting me with directions and local recommendations. the central location made exploring very easy.

the wifi signal in the caravan was a bit weak sometimes, especially during peak hours.
