a somewhat underwhelming stay

convenient locationlack of cleaningunfriendly staff
the location was convenient enough. it was near the train station, so that's a plus.
The lack of proper cleaning was a big issue for me. during my stay, my room wasn't thoroughly cleaned. They only replaced the towels if i left them on the floor. the staff wasn't very friendly either.

Acceptable, but some issues persist

convenient locationunavailable tablesbathroom drainage
The hotel's location was quite convenient. IT IS near many attractions.
The breakfast service was underwhelming. Often, tables were unavailable around 9 AM. Staff suggested eating in the lobby when no tables were free, and coffee and milk were frequently missing. The bathroom had a bad smell emanating from the drainage.

The location was very central. I found it easy to walk to restaurants and shops. the room i had was clean and spacious. the staff were friendly and helpful (especially when i needed directions).
the breakfast got quite busy after 9 am, so finding a free table was sometimes difficult. i also noticed a bad smell occasionally coming from the bathroom drainage. parking was in a separate building and involved using stairs, which might not suit everyone.
