Acceptable stay with some issues

street noise sound proofing
The breakfast provided a nice variety of food options.
My room was located at the front of the hotel. It overlooked a VERY busy main road. Loud partying continued into the early hours. constant sirens disrupted my sleep. Soundproofing the front windows is a MUST.

The location was indeed great. I found bars and restaurants just around the corner. I had requested a room at the back of the building and got it, so it was very quiet. Checking in and out was efficient.

The rooftop bar offered great drinks.
The room I had was outdated. The bed and pillows felt rock solid and a lot of the plug sockets didn't work. Building work occurred with drilling and hammering noises on the outside wall of my room and they didn't tell me about it.
