a decent stay with a view
great location breakfast view noisy area poor air conditioning
the location was great! you could reach all the main attractions really easily, and the tram station was just a minute away! breakfast on the roof had such a beautiful view, it was the perfect way to start the day!!
the area could be very noisy, especially at night. the restaurant across the street played loud music, it made it difficult to sleep, even with the windows closed! the air conditioning unit was also positioned right above the bed, you got blasted with air when it was on, which wasn't ideal.

average stay DUE to noise
constant noise uncomfortable ac
The location was central, but it had drawbacks. Our room faced the street, and the noise was constant. I found it HARD to sleep because of the restaurant across the street. It was like the windows were always open. The ac blew directly on the bed. This made things uncomfortable.
