Acceptable stay

convenient location helpful staff polite staff loud music expensive breakfast limited selection

the location was convenient. it was close to the city center. i also appreciated being a short walk from the stadium. the staff were very helpful and polite throughout my stay.

there was a nightclub nearby. the loud music continued until 5 am on some nights. sleep was difficult as a result. breakfast was quite expensive. the cost was not justified by the selection offered.

central LOCATION, great BREAKFAST

central location fresh breakfast helpful suggestion modern equipment

I found the location quite convenient, especially its proximity to the stadium. Breakfast WAS really good. The selection of cheese and meats was fresh. The staff gave helpful suggestions for local restaurants. The hotel also has a GYM with modern equipment.

the soundproofing seemed LESS than ideal. I could hear noise from neighboring rooms.
