Acceptable stay with minor issues

The restaurant was nearby and i liked it.

The standard double room felt cramped, and it made moving around difficult. The bathroom lacked proper ventilation. It became quite stuffy after showering.

Decent Stay with Minor Issues

kind gesture breakfast options great water warm room no air conditioning snoring neighbor

The staff offered us sandwiches to take with us since we had to leave before breakfast. I thought that was a lovely gesture. The breakfast had many options (especially the waffles!). The hot water in the room was great.

The room was warm and it lacked air conditioning. There was also no window to open. I could hear the person in the room next to me snoring the whole night. (I'm a light sleeper.)

sulphur smell dry croissants

I was a little disappointed with some aspects. the sulphur smell in the bathroom was quite strong, and it made showering less enjoyable (i usually love long showers). also, the breakfast selection, while acceptable, wasn't anything special. I hoped for a bit more variety. i felt the breakfast had dry minicroissants.
