Just adequate, I guess

acceptable breakfastsock smellstained tiling

The breakfast was alright, I suppose. Nothing special, but fueled the morning.

I can't say I enjoyed the room. The so-called Standard Double Room smelled distinctly of old socks. The bathroom tiling seemed like a biohazard zone with questionable stains everywhere.

Excellent Stay with Fantastic Amenities

clean towelssufficient breakfastconvenient locationspacious room

The provided towels were clean daily. Breakfast had sufficient options. The hotel's location offered convenient access. Trams stopped just outside. Staff upgraded our room, a lovely gesture. They put banners in the room to celebrate my birthday, I found this special. The room was spacious enough.

The bathroom seemed a bit dated.

The buffet breakfast included juices, cereals, cooked items, breads, and pastries. There were various flavors of teas and coffee. I enjoyed the eggs cooked to order, and the choices of items met my needs well.
