The breakfast offered a fine and diverse selection, though the options were not labelled. The dining area felt spacious, though the tables are close together. I was still able to find a table.

The room was large and the balcony was a good size. I found the room clean, a plus. The staff was helpful during check-in, and I appreciated the welcome drink. The location is very central to many restaurants and pubs.
I noticed a lack of modern amenities, like in-room coffee.
