    All of the staff were very attentive. Booked a room for heating. There was lots of food for breakfast, including croissants, toast, cereals and muffins.

    Some people working there were a little rude.

    What I liked the most was the location, it is in a quiet place and very central, you do not hear any noise. Also the room was very big, especially with a floor of platform that is to be thanked because I hate the carpets. Another detail...

    Location

    Mistake to book this hotel. It's not what it claimed - 3 star hotel? I've seen better hotels for the same rate. Does not deserve it's rating for sure. Was given a basement room and go through 5 doors before getting to room. No mini bar (not that I use it) for a 3 star hotel and room looks aged. Not to mention the male front counter staff was unfriendly and glum when checking in and could only manage with one or two phrases response. Disappointing indeed for a '3 star' hotel. Just one star at the most. Would not recommend.

    The price vrs. quality was very good. Double bed with one mattress was exactly how we ordered.

    The room carpet was extremely dirty. Otherwise the room was clean and the bathroom was new.

    The shortbread was a very nice touch. It was nice to come in to the room after our flight and have something to snack on.

    The walls were a bit thin, but that only really mattered when there was a loud talker next door.

    poor sound
    inconvenient layout

    The noise insulation was severely lacking between rooms!!! Not to mention the inconvenient room layouts, made maneuvering difficult. Plus, the shower design caused water to leak everywhere, definitely a hassle !!!
