The entrance was really dirty, with garbage right next to the hotel, i saw that from the balcony. some of the staff were not helpful when i arrived. It was a bit shocking. this place could be so much better, it really lacks any finesse.

The entrance area was surprisingly unkempt. The garbage area right next to the hotel was visible from my balcony. some staff seemed less helpful when i arrived which wasn't a great start. the hotel lacked a certain finesse i expected it seemed a pity such small details were overlooked. there was no coffee maker in the beautiful double room with balcony initially i requested one it was dusty and had old capsules.

the staff was friendly. the room was nice and clean. breakfast was good with a tasty variety. the hotel's location is near main attractions, and it remains quiet.
i didn't like that we had no hot water on arrival. windows didn't properly close, and cold wind came inside. a green light was blinking throughout the night, and it was disturbing for sleep.
