The hotel's location provided excellent access to many popular places. I easily walked to the Royal Palace and the National Museum. Breakfast offered fresh items with a wide selection. I appreciated the ice machines located on each floor.
My room did not have routine amenities such as cotton balls. I found that lacking.

adequate stay, some disappointments
great breakfastsmall roomdated bathroom
the breakfast choice was great and plentiful, a nice way to start the day.
I found the room to be quite small for the price paid. the bathroom felt dated, it featured a bathtub with a shower screen instead of a proper walk-in shower. there wasn't even a designated area to place my suitcase. I needed to request supports for them.
