Convenient Stay With Minor Hiccup

great locationcomfortable bedbreakfast marketlow ceiling

The location is great. The beds are very comfortable. There are several markets nearby where you can buy breakfast supplies. The staff supplied functional appliances quickly after reporting non-functional ones.

I was not told that the ceiling in the second bedroom was only 1.35 metres high. This meant no adult could stand upright there. I had to crawl in the bedroom bent forward.

The breakfast was brought from a delicatessen across the street. This made it easy to try local goods. The rooftop terrace provided a nice setting to enjoy the delivered food. It offered some views of the surrounding area.
