We did not have a good experience from check-in (room not ready), to when we wanted to have dinner at the restaurant (no space available) and finally when we wanted to sleep, unable due to the noise from neighbours. Definitely not soundproof rooms. Our duvet had velcro in the middle to link 2 single duvets together.

The hotel had all of the required amenities: the rooms were small but renovated to a modern standard, the breakfast was more than adequate, and the lounge was a nice touch for meeting and socializing. I like using stairs when possible and I found them somewhat dirty at times. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
