excellent hotel near main attractions

large roomking size bedfree waterpoor sound isolation
i booked a room at the last minute and got a large room in the basement. the room was very large with a king-size bed, a large wardrobe with an easy to use safe. free bottled water was provided at reception. i found turkish tea and hot water for instant coffee in reception.
the noise was a significant issue, as i could hear everything from other rooms and the hall. drunk guests arriving late made it difficult to sleep. it would be nice with better sound isolation.
