mixed feelings about this stay.
unvaried breakfast empty tables
honestly? the breakfast was... the same. Every single day. No changes, which got really old after a couple of days. also, i asked for dinner on the 24th, but they said it was fully booked. i checked later and saw empty tables. feels bad, man. feels bad.
the location is central. i could easily walk to many places. the staff were friendly. they gave me useful suggestions for exploring the area.
the coffee facilities was inadequate. the nightlight in my room could not be switched off. the room faced a yard. it was not very attractive.
