friendly staff great location poor value weak wifi

The staff were friendly. the location was great. Shops, museums, and theaters were within a short walk.

the continental breakfast didn't offer great value. (i expected more for the price). also, the wifi wasn't the best. it was reasonable, but not as strong as i needed it to be.

air conditioning late noise

the location is excellent for access to many theaters.

The room was too warm, and i could not adjust the air conditioning controls. outside noise from the nearby square continued late into the night. the hotel provided earplugs. the sound was still disruptive.

mixed feelings about this stay

odd layout pub noise

i was a bit disappointed with the room. the layout felt cramped, with the shower and sink strangely separated. the lack of a proper shower door meant water splashed everywhere and this made me stressed. also, the noise from nearby pubs kept me awake on friday night so earplugs were provided.
