Mixed Feelings About This Hotel

small bedroom size
The room size was a real issue for me. It was advertised as a 'small double room', but that turned out to mean the bed itself was small. A 140 cm wide bed lost about 10 cm on each side due to uneven firmness I found that very frustrating.

The location was excellent. It was within walking distance of many museums. A bus stop offered transport directly to the airport. The building itself had a beautiful historical feel.
The room had no air conditioning, so I was uncomfortable at night. The hotel was also quite noisy. I could hear doors slamming and people coming and going.
