double paned windows excellent location unclear instruction unsecured hallway
our room had double paned windows , so street noise was not an issue. the location was excellent , very close to pubs and restaurants.
it was difficult to find the entrance , there were not enough instructions provided. the bag drop off area was in an unsecured hallway , i did not feel completely safe leaving my belongings there.

excellent location clean room comfortable bed broken toilet building noise unstocked minibar
The location was excellent. I found parking easy, with a discount it was 21 euros a day. The room was well appointed. It was clean, unique, and spacious. The bed was comfortable.
The toilet seat felt as though it would break. There was noise from others in the building. I found not enough instruction in how to enter the building. The minibar was unstocked of what it said on the price list above the fridge.

location met expectations, minor issues
central location perfect location comfortable bed spacious room challenging check-in unavailable staff delayed response
the location worked well, allowing me to walk everywhere. the bed was comfortable. the room was spacious and clean, though, it felt a bit impersonal.
the check-in process was unexpectedly challenging. there was no reception or staff available to assist, an issue. i contacted the hotel about parking, but i didn't receive a reply until my check-out day, too late.
