the breakfast was subpar, a real disappointment. i found the selection quite limited and the quality questionable. the scrambled eggs tasted like powder and the sausages seemed undercooked. also, the noise level in the corridors was disruptive at night. i heard loud talking and doors slamming well into the early hours. it made sleeping difficult.
