tasty breakfastgood selectionbeautiful cityoutdated facilitiesdirty furnitureuncomfortable furniture
This hotel had a really tasty breakfast. I found a good selection of items. The location was good in a beautiful city. Staff were also really nice.
The facilities seems outdated. I see cover for old furnitures looks dirty. I am unsure if the furniture was just old. I find it uncomfortable to rest well.
