the breakfast was delicious and i had no complaints there.

The music during check-in was far too loud. I could barely hear the staff. later, a group next to my room was noisy with shouting and slamming doors. after contacting emergency numbers multiple times without success, i felt quite unsafe. the lack of security and the staff's response were disappointing

I appreciated the large, comfortable beds and high ceilings in the rooms at the back. The beautiful room I booked included breakfast. It was cozy and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I found the bed and pillows very comfortable (just what I needed after a long day). I found the breakfast fantastic, especially with a great choice of options and lovely cappuccino coffee.

The menu didn't have many options for lighter meals.
