small portions bad taste

the location was good. (very central!).

i was really disappointed by the evening meals. the portions were small and the taste wasn't great. i think the chef should really look at the recipes or consider changing them.

tiny bathroom water leak

The breakfast was fine, with a decent choice. Nothing to complain about there.

the room was far from ideal, the bathroom was tiny. i had to sit sideways on the toilet because my legs wouldn't fit! there were also clear signs of a water leak on the ceilings. definitely not what i expected for the price i paid.
