Fantastic Hotel in a Prime Location!

central locationquiet nightspacious roomlarge bed
The hotel is very centrally located. It was also very quiet during the night, which I appreciated. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was extra large and very comfortable. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! It was served until 10:30 on weekdays and 11:00 during the weekends.
The entrance to the hotel is slightly hidden. You can enter from the restaurant, though.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

poor soundproofingmissing items
I experienced a couple of problems. The room I was assigned lacked proper soundproofing. Street noise and nearby bar sounds were audible late into the night, disrupting my sleep. The minibar was also poorly stocked. Several items listed on the menu were missing. I found this annoying.

A Mixed Experience in a Central Location

central locationloud air conditioningbreakfast quality
The hotel's central location provided easy access to many shops and restaurants nearby.
The air conditioning was not very effective, and it was also quite loud. This disrupted sleep and made the room less comfortable. I also found that the breakfast area was often overcrowded, and the quality of some items was not up to par (the scrambled eggs were watery).

The hotel enjoys a great location, that's true. my 'Beautiful Double or Twin Room City View' was smaller than expected. THE room faced a noisy street, and sleep was sometimes difficult. The air conditioning was not very effective either, it struggled to keep the room cool enough, so I felt a bit disappointed.
