the hotel has a very good location near many bars and restaurants, a plus for those wanting convenience.
i really did not liked the awful coffee they served during breakfast, it tasted old. my room also had no view, it just looked at the rooftops, what a shame. the bacon i had at breakfast, although advertised as grilled, was both hard and greasy. what a waste of good bacon.
