small roomdisruptive conversation
My Double Room was quite small given its price. The view from the window consisted of a nearby roof. The room became very noisy on the second night of my stay. The source of the noise remained unclear. Loud personal conversations among three staff members during breakfast disrupted the experience one morning. I had to seek their attention.

the staff were friendly. we even got a guided tour that included a history of the building. the food was quite good and i enjoyed the breakfast.
The room was pretty small for the price i paid! the view was also disappointing. I just saw a roof very close to the window. the noise levels were quite high during the nights, though i couldn't pinpoint the source.
