just okay, honestly

old wallpaper breakfast selection
the location provided scenic views, exactly as expected.
The room felt quite dated. the wallpaper seemed old and tired and i believe it needed replacement. breakfast was fairly basic. I found the hot selection wasn't regularly topped up, annoying.

disturbing noise prison-like balconies
The room was super clean, comfortable and well furnished therefore I found no fault.
I did find noise from guests above disturbing. I could hear every footstep, and the noise persisted after their arrival. Balconies looked like prisons because of the bars so I consider this unacceptable.
