the location was perfect! i could easily walk to all the shops and restaurants. the room was renovated nicely and really clean (i'm quite picky!). the staff responded quickly when i had a small question.
the stairs had some graffiti, and it felt a little odd at first.

the communal area for breakfast had plenty of options (tea, milk, juices). i also saw a selection of chocolate available. this made it really easy to grab a quick bite before heading out to explore.
