central locationfriendly staffhelpful staffpoor soundproofing

the location proved very central. all main attractions were nearby. i found the staff very friendly and helpful. they readily suggested places to visit (i appreciated the map).

The soundproofing wasn't great. i could hear guests in the neighboring room. This was quite disruptive.

central locationhelpful receptionistexcellent recommendationsstrange smellunfinished framesingle chair

The location was excellent. The receptionist offered helpful recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. The hotel is close to museums and the city center.

The bathroom had a slightly strange smell on the last day. I think it was stale water. The frame around the bathroom was unfinished. Only one chair was available in the room. I would have liked two.
