the location seemed fine, even if i don't know the area that well.
the room, oh, the room. i booked a beautiful king room, or so they said. the tv remote was missing. i asked for one, but it never arrived, so i just looked at the wall for entertainment all evenings.

dirty bathroom poor service
the location was convenient enough for getting around.
The room was far from clean. I found hair in the bathroom and the furniture looked pretty old (i really expected more from a hotel that calls itself 5-star). the service was also disappointing. i asked for room service at 9 pm, well before the stated closing time of 11 pm, and was told no one was available to bring it. it felt quite dismissive.
