decent stay overall

great location helpful staff standard room single key missing conditioner fluffy duvet

the hotel is very close to many cafes, restaurants and bars. the staff were very good too.. nothing seemed too hard for them. my room was a standard double room.

i found only one key for the room, even though two people were staying there. there was no conditioner available, and only one soap dispenser was present.. it was supposed to be used for both hair and body. the only bedcover was a fluffy duvet.

location, fine, room, not so much

the location is pretty good, i suppose. it near the center, so that's something.

first of all, the executive double or twin room i got was a total letdown. no view at all. then, both the bed lamps didn't even work, and don't even get me started on the heating, it was terrible.
