unclean floor loud noises

The room service cleaned the bathroom. they changed towels daily. The floor was never cleaned during my entire stay. I found that I could hear street noises, hallway sounds, and conversations from neighboring rooms (quite annoying). I also noticed a bad smell coming from the bathroom drain. Plus, the tile floor felt cold when I walked on it barefoot.

stale croissant tiny pool

i had some initial optimism about this place but it quickly faded the breakfast was honestly quite poor. the croissants tasted cheap and stale. the coffee was undrinkable it all felt a bit unclean. the rooftop pool was a joke more like a tiny paddling pool than an actual swimming pool certainly not what i expected

The staff was very friendly, always eager to assist. The hotel's location was superb, close to many restaurants and shops. the rooms were super clean and the daily cleaning service was great. i was also pleased with the comfortable beds!

the breakfast selection was quite limited. the small rooftop pool seemed more like a paddling pool. it barely fit two people.
