good breakfaststreet noisethin windows
the breakfast was good , with several options available.
my room faced the street , and the noise at night made sleep difficult. the windows seemed thin, offering little sound insulation. also , the air conditioning was preset and i could not adjust it to a cooler temperature , , made the room stuffy.

faulty toiletmissing fridge
The room, oh, the room. It lacked a fridge, of course. The WC draining was a real adventure. No safety deposit box was available, so all my valuables were under my pillow. At least the bed was good, but what is a good bed without a working toilet. The noisy street was bad but the double window sort of helped with this.

constant noisefaulty door
The room i occupied faced a very busy street and soundproofing was insufficient. Noise was constant! this made restful sleep difficult. additionally, the bathroom door did not close properly. It was a minor inconvenience i expected to be addressed promptly, but it remained uncorrected throughout my stay.
