mixed experience at this hotel
perfect locationlittle daylightvery nice noise
the location is perfect for exploring the city.
i asked for a quiet room because i am a light sleeper. they put me in the room 'the orient' in the dungeon. it had very little daylight and the air felt stuffy. the noise was very nice because the bar and breakfast room are just above and the building is old i could hear all the steps.
