The breakfast was not great. Some items seemed stale. The room size was smaller than I expected. I found the limited space a bit restrictive . Also the bathroom felt cramped. The room was not very soundproofed I could hear noise from the hall.

unbeatable location breakfast buffet rooftop terrace small room elevator absence insufficient cleaning
The location was unbeatable. Breakfast included a really nice buffet, it had great options. The rooftop terrace offered a lovely spot to start the day.
The room was very small. There was no elevator, so carrying luggage was difficult. Cleaning could have been better, I noticed the floor was not swept daily.
