decent location but some issues

unserviced room cold dining area
the location was indeed very central, a definite plus.
Our room was not properly serviced one day. We returned after a long day out to discover it hadn't been cleaned by 4 pm. the breakfast on the top floor felt disorganized, with a bizarre half-buffet and half-waiter service (and the service was quite slow). the dining area was also too cold.

The location were pretty central. It had easy access to the historic centre and museums. The staff has great people skills and were very helpful. I appreciate the free drinks and snacks in the lobby area.
The bed in room was squeaky. I asked the reception to fix the squeaking, but it wasn't. The room did not has a window facing out of the hotel, so there was no natural light. It wasn't ideal.
