The air conditioning seemed to struggle. The room never really cooled down. I found the breakfast selection rather limited. The pastries seemed stale. I expected more variety. The coffee was not strong enough for my taste.

charming stay

helpful deskquiet streetblue mold
the front desk was helpful and nice i wish we stayed one more night i will stay again. the location felt safe and the street was quiet despite its proximity to the city center.
the ground floor room smelled of damp and i found blue mold behind the bed. everything in the room felt damp to the touch i think the ground floor rooms should not be used.

street noisecrowded breakfast
i found the lack of soundproofing to be an issue , as street noise was quite noticeable. the disturbance made it difficult to fall asleep early. also , the breakfast area was often crowded during peak hours. i found it hard to find a table , and the replenishment of some items was slow.

The breakfast was good. I appreciated the attentiveness of the breakfast staff, as they kept items well-stocked. The bathrooms were modern. I also found the bathrooms to be clean.
The air conditioning did not work well in my room. There was no airflow. The room was small, and it was difficult to move around. I found the hotel had a bad smell. It permeated from the inside of the elevator to the stairways and hallways.
