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.
