traffic noise stale croissants
The staff was very helpful. They gave me a map and marked interesting places to see.
My room faced a busy street, and the traffic noise bothered me at night. The breakfast options weren't great either. The croissants tasted stale.

friendly staff ease access pizzeria proximity steep ascent soap absence room soundproofing
Staffs were very friendly. You can walk to city center with ease. A pizzeria is right next door and I tried pizza there.
There was no elevator, the ascent is steep. There was no place to put soap for my hands. I could hear noises from the other room.
