the breakfast had a decent selection.

the room was too dark, even with all the lights on and the curtains open i could barely see. the air conditioning didn't work properly and kept switching to heating, i told the reception but nothing changed. the only option i had was to keep the window open, but that let in all the street noise.

The bedroom was quite dark. It also got far too hot in the evening , even with the air conditioning turned off and the heating on. I complained , but the only solution was to leave the large window open. This seemed like a waste of energy , and it did not help me sleep better.
