Decent stay with some drawbacks

free public transport helpful staff good breakfast selection dark room soft pillow no air conditioning

The breakfast included a decent selection. The staff at the reception were helpful. The hotel offered free public transport passes, a very convenient perk.

My room was very dark. There was no air conditioning, so the room got very hot. The pillows were also too soft for my liking.
