The hotel boasts a superb location. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful (which I always appreciate). The breakfast was a good mix of continental and cooked options.
The room was quite small. The bathroom looked makeshift with very little space. The beds were not comfortable and the pillows were horrible.

The room was quite basic, it did not meet expectations considering the price. a twin room was booked. the beds were almost touching. there was barely any space to walk around the beds. also the bathroom was small. Almost like a capsule.

The breakfast selection impressed me. It featured numerous options. The room was a decent size. The central location provided easy access to many sites.
I found the room windows impossible to open. A lack of fresh air bothered me. The bathroom reminded me of a compact unit. The overall comfort suffered because of these issues.
