street noise insufficient counter
my room faced the street, and the noise level was disruptive. sounds from nearby restaurants continued late into the night. i also noticed that the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space to place toiletries. a small shelf or additional surface would improve the functionality of the room.

I found the location excellent. It was just a short walk to major attractions. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful with any request I had. Breakfast was delicious and included a wonderful view from the terrace. I was pleased with the cleanliness of the room. I also appreciated the comfortable bed.
The room was a bit smaller than it was in photos. I found this slightly inconvenient but manageable.

mixed experience due to noise and room issues

small room tiny wardrobe
the location was great, near tourist sites and public transport.
our room was called "beautiful" but it was very small. we had two suitcases, and it was difficult to open them. the wardrobe was ridiculously small too, providing minimal space for our belongings.
