Fantastic stay!

helpful staffclean roomdaily housekeepingpoor insulation
I found the staff quite friendly and helpful, providing directions and local tips. The room was very clean. One is exclusively for staff. Housekeeping changed towels and sheets every day.
The room I was allocated faced the street. The noise was somewhat bothersome due to poor window insulation. This impacted sleep quality despite using earplugs and an eye mask. I think soundproofing could improve.
Dining

Breakfast provided a good variety of choices, including both sweet and savory options. The dining room staff maintained a clean and well-stocked buffet area, The selection was fresh, and regularly replenished even during peak hours.

Wonderful City Stay!

I found the staff helpful. They assisted me with directions and local tips. The complimentary water and welcome wine were a lovely touch. The snacks were very welcome after a long journey. I appreciated the fridge and safe provided in the room. Both added extra convenience. I liked the short walk to the metro. It made exploring the city so easy.
The air conditioning was somewhat weak, which could be a problem during hotter months.

The location is really excellent (I could easily access public transport). The staff are friendly and very helpful. My room was very clean and the bathroom was a great size.
My room was small. The soundproofing wasn't good and I could hear street noise. There was also a low-frequency rumble when the metro went by underneath the building.
