balanced stay.

friendly staffgreat locationthin wallsroom noise

the breakfast was really great. the staff in the breakfast room were especially friendly and helpful. the location is also super, only a short walk to the main attractions. i found parking on site and that was a big plus.

The walls seem quite thin. I could hear other guests. there was some noise from the street at night. i found it hard to sleep well because of these noises. also, the room lacked a mini fridge. i wanted to keep some drinks cold.

The breakfast selection was excellent. i especially liked the variety of fresh fruits available. the location was also really convenient. Many shops and restaurants were within easy walking distance.

the bathroom was quite small. the shower, in particular, felt a bit cramped. also, the hot water had a noticeable sulfur smell, a little unpleasant after showering.
