The breakfast had a good variety. I especially liked the fresh fruit.
The air conditioning in my room was making a concerning rattling noise all night. I asked about it, but nothing happened. i guess i just got used to it... or maybe i just stopped caring.

the hotel is in a very convenient location just steps from the center. the internet speed was excellent (i streamed movies without issues).
my room was quite cold upon arrival. i had to ask reception for a mobile heater to make it comfortable (the staff were quick to help). the shower design is flawed and the whole bathroom floods after each use.
