Mixed Feelings About This Stay

good locationconstant noisebathroom smell
The location was good for accessing the city center.
The room felt quite cramped, and there was an odd smell in the bathroom I could not identify. The noise from the street was constant, even late into the night (it made it hard to sleep). The breakfast service was slow, with a long wait for my order.

The room was very clean (it felt brand new). I loved the bathroom. It had a huge shower and a bath. The location is great as it is in the center of historic attractions.
The room was a bit noisy at night, and it bothered me a bit.

I found the room decor charming. It really enhanced the experience. the historical details of the building created an authentic atmosphere. my room included an iron with ironing board. It was very useful. i enjoyed the coffee machine available for a morning boost.
The wifi signal was a bit weak at times. This made it slightly difficult to stream videos.
