great spaceneeded thingstasty foodhigh noise

I liked the triple room because it had great space. The room had everything you needed. Breakfast included good variety plus tasty food.

The air conditioning did not work. It made sleeping difficult despite the open window. Street noise was high as a result.

Dining

8/10

Breakfast is in the reception area and food sits out. Everyone entering or exiting the hotel can access it. The food itself was quite good though.

Service

9/10

The reception spoke several languages and was helpful. I had to ask about public transport tickets and they gave them. The reception area provides a chocolate fountain.
