helpful staff friendly staff convenient location street noise heavy duvet

the staff was very helpful and friendly. they remembered my name . the location of the hotel was convenient. it allowed easy access to city center attractions (i walked almost everywhere).

the room was very hot, even with the radiator turned off. i had to open the window, but that let in a lot of street noise. the hotel did not provide a thin blanket, only a heavy duvet, difficult to regulate my temperature.

basic breakfast adjustable heating

i found a couple of things that weren't great. the breakfast was pretty basic, i was really hoping for omelettes or scrambled eggs, but there weren't any. also, the room got super hot, and i couldn't turn off the heating, it was uncomfortable.

ample room big tv nice staff warm room leaky shower lukewarm mini-fridge

the king room had plenty of space for my luggage. the tv was also quite big in the room. i found the front desk staff to be nice (i even bought a scarf upon checkout).

the hotel room was too warm. even with a fan, it was difficult to sleep well. the shower door did not close properly and caused water to leak. also, the mini-fridge was not cold enough to keep my water chilled.
