The room was excessively warm despite the radiators being cold. I had to sleep with the window open all night. a fan. My room was located above the kitchens, thus the ventilation system was quite noisy. I reported this at the reception. The staff member told me it was particularly hot outside that night (this was not true) (this is frustrating).
