Okay stay, some aspects need attention

friendly staffcentral locationdated roomaverage sandwiches
The breakfast was good (especially the bacon). The staff were courteous and efficient, they met my needs promptly. I had a pleasant experience during check-in. The hotel is situated centrally.
The room felt dated, I believe it was last updated quite some time ago. The tv in my room seemed to be an older model. I had some issues with the service at lunch, the sandwiches were just average.

The room was clean. It was acceptable.
The staff seemed underprepared. A waitress with short brown hair was impatient and unhelpful when I used a translator. It made me very uncomfortable.

The gym located there was acceptable. It provided basic equipment for a workout.
I found the absence of herbal tea in the room quite disappointing. additionally, the coffee served in the bar after dinner was terrible. It sharply contrasted with the lovely coffee in the cafe. i think this inconsistency requires attention.
