The location was great. It was easy to get around. the staff helped me with directions and were always available. i liked having luggage storage after checkout. It allowed me to explore more before heading to the airport.
My room faced the street. The noise was noticeable. i found it a bit disruptive, particularly early in the morning.

decent location, SOME concerns

convenient accessexcessive fee
The hotel's location was acceptable. It allowed convenient access to nearby attractions.
I found the service wanting. I requested a kettle, and the hotel wanted ten euros per night. i ended up buying a kettle rather than paying that excessive fee. This practice struck me as exploitative.
