the location was great it was very central i found it easy to walk to many attractions and shops the staff were quite friendly and professional especially when i needed directions the rooftop bar gave amazing views of the city it even had heat lamps for cooler evenings
the air conditioning did not work very well in the room , made it a bit uncomfortable i was on a higher floor so it got quite warm the breakfast was a little underwhelming it had dry scrambled eggs and not so fresh orange juice the lighting in the bathroom was too strong and cold i prefer something softer

The location was amazing, everything was very close. Breakfast had great choices. The staff were polite (I found them helpful too).
Check-in was at 16:00, check-out at 11:00. This felt unusual (most European hotels have different times). There was no concierge service when I arrived. I didn't see anyone cute guests.
