a stay with mixed impressions
missing upgradeempty trays
The promised upgrade never materialized. i anticipated a superior room sea view, but i got a standard double or twin room. the room overlooked a rather dull alley. Not the glittering seascape i had envisioned. also, the breakfast buffet seemed to run out of pastries quite quickly. i often found myself staring at empty trays, a rather anticlimactic start to the day.

The hotel is located in a good area and I could walk to most sites. The tram was also very close. The room was clean. Everybody was really kind to me.
The restaurant furniture looked old and needed repair. I had to wait many days for a refund. Linens for the bed was ill-fitting.

the breakfast offered a fresh and diverse selection of foods. the dining area maintained excellent cleanliness during service. the staff showed consistent helpfulness and courteous behavior. i found the walk into town convenient, placing key attractions within easy reach.
while generally satisfactory, i found the soundproofing could be improved slightly. i heard some noise from adjacent rooms on one occasion, though it wasn't a persistent issue.
