stylish stay close to the center

helpful staffclean roomcentral locationthoughtful gesture
i found the staff to be helpful . the room was very clean upon arrival. the hotel's location allows for a quick walk to the city center (it was about 10 minutes). they offered me a lunch box for my early flight (i appreciated this small detail).
i found the breakfast buffet somewhat limited in variety. the juice seemed diluted.

the hotel features a classical style decoration, with portraits adding a unique touch. i also noticed there's no air conditioning in the rooms but they provide a fan (which was adequate ).

The staff was amazing! The whole team at the front desk were kind and helpful . The breakfast was good enough (especially the coffee!).
The bathroom felt dated and lacked an extraction system, so there was a sewage smell. The pillows were really soft and thin. I asked for more, but it did not make a difference.
