ideal location rooftop view loose switch missing tile
The location was ideal for exploring. It was a short distance to many historical sites. Breakfast on the rooftop offered a great start to the day. The food selection was plentiful. The view of the city from there was really good.
Our room showed some signs of wear. Several light switches were loose. There was a missing tile in the bathroom. It gave a slightly unfinished appearance.

worn furniture street noise
I was so looking forward to the rooftop terrace. it was available, but quite underwhelming. the furniture was a bit worn, and the view was okay, not amazing!!! i also expected a wider variety at breakfast. It felt rather basic. i also found that there was street noise late into the night. Earplugs might be necessary.
