the location was quite central, making it easy to walk to many attractions..

I found the room size smaller than expected, especially considering the price. the advertised coffee maker was also absent. Instant coffee was the only option. furthermore, the breakfast pastries displayed in the bar were unavailable on the buffet without an extra charge, which felt a bit misleading

the rooms were very clean with a modern bathroom. the bed was comfortable.

I found some issues . the breakfast seemed subpar. The pastries available at the bar weren't part of the buffet, and purchasing them required an extra charge.. it reminded me more of a simple diner than a high-end hotel. this detail lessened the overall experience.
