I was greatly impressed by the staff's attentiveness . The receptionist was helpful and made check-in very smooth. I appreciated the breakfast. The quality of the cooked items was great, alongside a lovely continental buffet. I found the central location advantageous, it was close to shops and dining places.
I found that the room I stayed in could be noisy due to street traffic during the night. Earplugs might be useful.

the breakfast was included, but not amazing. i mean, the scrambled eggs tasted like they came out of a packet. the coffee wasn't much better. also, getting to the room was like navigating a maze. so many stairs! the hotel felt more like a workout than a relaxing stay, and the discount ticket didn't even work.
