Wonderful Central Stay

The breakfast had an very nice selection. Everything I tried tasted delicious, even the coffee. Fluffy bright white towels were in the room. A little lounge area provided a welcome space for organizing before my departure. The bed was comfortable and newly refurbished rooms had everything I needed after exploring the city.
Soundproofing was a real issue. It seemed like walls and windows were made of paper.

Adequate Stay, Some Disappointments

small roomthin walls
The room I got was smaller than expected. It felt a bit cramped, even for a short stay. there was noise at night , made it hard to sleep. I think the walls are too thin because I could hear other guests. I hoped for a quieter experience.
