The location felt very central. a rooftop bar provided convenience, and the room was nice. front desk staff offered good assistance. breakfast was offsite. It involved a walk, though the selection was great. staff there was also helpful.

the hotel lacks soundproof windows. this resulted in noise from nearby bars and restaurants. it made a proper sleep difficult, with music loud until late.

the location was central. i walked straight out into the heart of the city with restaurants and shops right at my door. the room was excellent. it was very clean and very well equipped.

The shaver socket in the bathroom did not work at all. It seemed to have no power. it was only a small thing, but it was a slight inconvenience.

The room was clean. The location is great. It is in the city center. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was also very good, I think.

The hotel is noisy at night. There was loud disco music from a nearby street every evening. The noise continued until around 2 AM. a lack of sleep significantly affected my stay.
