great location short walk tv remote uninterested staff

the location was great. it was a short walk to the cathedral , and i could easily reach the red tour bus stop. also , the station to the airport was only a 10-minute walk away .

the tv remote did not work well , and this was quite annoying. i asked the reception staff about it , but they did not fix it or seem interested.

Acceptable location, but some issues.

urine stains limited selection

The location was quite good, near the city center.

The bathroom had urine stains on the seat! There were also no toiletries beyond hand soap and shampoo. The breakfast for vegetarians was disappointing. Utensils were cross-contaminated with those used for meat.
