acceptable locationinadequate soundproofingrestocked minibar
the location was acceptable though it was a little too busy.
The minibar was not restocked daily as advertised. I had to call multiple times. also, the noise from the street kept me awake at night. The soundproofing seemed inadequate. this was frustrating because i expected a quiet room given the hotel's reputation.

comfortable bedlarge bathroomwooden floorsoverpowering diffuser
my darling and i celebrated our anniversary here (so special!). our superior double or twin room was spacious. i particularly loved the wooden floors. the very comfortable bed ensured restful nights, which we needed after exploring. the large bathroom was a delight.
the diffuser scent in the reception area was quite strong. it sometimes felt overwhelming upon entering.

The breakfast variety was good. I found enough options.
The room i got faced the back and had a terrible view. It was just an internal courtyard. the noise from the street was constant and loud. also the minibar prices were exorbitant. A small bottle of water cost nearly €7, outrageous street noise, exorbitant minibar prices
