Our suite included two rooms and two bathrooms. The Basilica was just outside. Several restaurants were in walking distance. The room was quite large. It was modern! The bathroom was also modern.

The air conditioner made noise. It complicated sleep.

the hotel is across from st stephen's basilica the location cannot be better. i could easily return for a midday rest because it was summer. the 100e airport bus stop is only a five minute walk making transfers very easy. i really appreciated the free secure luggage storage too it gave me peace of mind.

the air conditioning did not seem to work well. the room became too warm especially since the outside weather was warm. i wish this was resolved so i could have slept better.
