poor soundproofing limited view
The room faced an inner courtyard, i think. it was kinda like looking at a brick wall, so the view wasn't winning any awards. also, the soundproofing wasn't great. I heard every conversation and footstep from the hallway. guess earplugs are essential if you want any sleep.

Decent stay with some drawbacks

cute staff central location fresh fruit small window unfair accusation bright shutter
The staff were cute and helpful. The location was central and convenient. Breakfast included fresh fruit, coffee, and eggs made to order. I found that quite satisfactory.
The room I had on the first night was small with small windows, and it was very noisy. The front office manager thought our water usage caused a leak, this reminded me of an unfair accusation. Shutters let in a lot of light making it hard to sleep properly.

Acceptable location, disappointing room issues

noisy room light shutters
The location was right in front of the river and convenient for seeing the main tourist spots.
Our room was REALLY noisy. I suspect it should have been soundproofed. Shutters also let in light, so sleeping properly was difficult. I was disappointed.
