The room was not soundproofed well. I could hear noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms. Cleaning staff used a vacuum cleaner in the corridor at 9 a.m., a time I consider inappropriate. This greatly disturbed my sleep, and better sound insulation is needed.

The location was great. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful . Breakfast at the sister hotel nearby was a great way to start the day (especially the fresh pastries).
My room felt quite dark as the windows faced some sort of internal area. It was hard to see anything without the lights on all the time. The led lights on the tv were annoying at bedtime and kept me awake.
