I was greeted by a very friendly staff, but the room was very loud because it faces a main traffic street.

The breakfast buffet was rich and offered a wide variety. The room is surprisingly quiet despite being in the city centre. Public transport access is good.

We had a deck, the staff were kind and the reception was open 24 hours, yet the room was tiny and it was almost impossible to open two suitcases.

The air‑conditioning offers a sensible control panel where guests can set everything themselves, unlike the placebo‑like controls in large hotels; the building is old but well maintained and still keeps the charm of a typical older, owner‑run hotel. However, the air‑conditioner probably needs another maintenance check because it makes odd, loud noises whenever it runs, and the reception software for check‑in runs quite slowly.
