6.6/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great for exploring the old city and transport links, but the street work outside caused some early morning noise disturbances. The service was accommodating and friendly, although there was a missed opportunity to inform guests about free street parking in August. The dining experience was a letdown with overpriced prepacked croissants, but the tasty options were worth the cost. The room, despite being average, suffered from noise issues and an unpleasant smell. The facilities were sufficient, though nothing exceptional.
