Acceptable stay overall

central location good location relaxed breakfast room nice breakfast room outdoor courtyard pleasant courtyard front room noisy room communication issue stressful communication steep stairs rotating stairs
The location is really central. It made transport and exploring shops easy. I found the breakfast room nice and relaxing. The hotel had an outdoor courtyard, pleasant.
My room faced the front of the building. I noticed quite a bit of noise at night because sounds echoed off buildings. The hotel's communication could be better. I felt a little stressed.
