Acceptable Location, but Some Issues
bad smell broken air conditioning
The location was definitely superb. I could walk to many places from there.
The bathroom HAD a bad smell. I believe it came from the drainage. The air conditioning did not work at all, unfortunately. Because of these issues, I would not have wanted to stay longer than one night.

Reasonable Stay in the City Center
convenient location good variety cramped room insufficient refill
The location was very convenient for exploring the area. The breakfast had a good variety of options , ensuring a satisfying start to each day.
The room felt a bit cramped , even though it was a beautiful double room. Coffee and milk were not automatically refilled . I needed to find someone to ask for more.

The location was central. I borrowed bikes from the hotel one morning and rode around (it was a nice change). The staff helped with every request I had.
The air conditioning in my room did not work at all. There was also a bad smell in the bathroom. I think it came from the drainage.
