Central Stay with City Views

The hotel's proximity to the train station and trolleys was very convenient. I enjoyed the city view from my room . I was granted a late checkout until 12, which allowed me to attend my meetings without rushing. The room was well equipped, and I found it to be very clean..

The hotel did not seem to have undergone recent refurbishment, which showed some signs of wear. I noticed the absence of bedside electrical sockets, so I could not charge my devices conveniently from the bed.

The air conditioning in my classic double room high floor did not work effectively, resulting in a very uncomfortable night. i called reception multiple times, but no one addressed the issue adequately. the lack of available plug sockets was also quite inconvenient. There was only one accessible socket, limiting my ability to charge devices and use the provided amenities. this impacted my overall experience negatively, as a functional air conditioning system is essential for a comfortable stay.
