underwhelming stay

acceptable locationstreet noisepoor insulation
the location was acceptable, near the tram line. just acceptable
The room i got certainly did not match the pictures online, go figure. it felt smaller than advertised, a real squeeze. also, the noise from the street was relentless. The windows offered minimal sound insulation, so sleep was a challenge. you know, just what you expect

location was ok but some issues need to be addressed

easy accessclosed poolcheap quality products
the location was acceptable with easy access to attractions.
The pool was closed , disappointing. the room was also quite cold, partly because the balcony door did not seal properly. breakfast lacked variety, and the products seemed to be of cheap quality. I found everything to be quite tasteless.
