excellent location helpful assistance small room lumpy pillows
The location was excellent, near the tram. The staff provided assistance with tourist information.
The initial room given to me was quite small, something i found very inconvenient. I had to change rooms and this took time. The duvet cover seemed like polyester, a material I dislike, and the pillows were lumpy (i expect better pillows).

street noise impractical layout
The hotel location was acceptable as it was near the main attractions.
My room faced the street, and the noise was unbearable. I couldn't sleep well. the bathroom layout was not practical. The sink was outside the toilet room, and it reminded me of I was washing in the middle of the room. We also had an incident.

warm welcome airport transfers
The staff were genuinely amazing! They provided a warm welcome and assisted with airport transfers. The reception staff was friendly and helped me surprise my girlfriend with flowers and breakfast. I also enjoyed a very nice view from the balcony.
I found the initial room terribly small for a long stay. I requested a different room. The duvet cover was polyester.
