adequate stay, some hiccups

poor heating excessive noise
The room was clean. That's about all i can say.
The heating was a joke. it barely worked, especially at night, the worst part was the noise. I could hear everything from the street and other rooms, sleep was a luxury i didn't get much of. the bathroom wasn't cleaned very well, with some leftover hairs.

mixed stay with a few issues

missed housekeeping street noise
the location was acceptable. it was convenient to get around.
The room was not what i expected. housekeeping seemed to miss our room several times . i had to call for towels one day, and even then, it took hours for someone to actually bring them. the noise from the street was also quite noticeable, especially late at night. It definitely affected my sleep.

The staff was friendly. the attached restaurant offered delicious meals. the location was ideal. I could reach all the main attractions quickly.
the corridor smelled strongly of artificial air fresheners. the lift was small, and its glass casing looked dirty. the room layout felt awkward, the door was close to the bed.

lukewarm radiators icy shower
The room looked great at first glance (though a bit chilly). The radiators felt only lukewarm. The water initially felt lukewarm and then became cold quickly. This happened so fast that my shower turned icy. I now have a fever. Problems with the heating occurred for friends traveling with me. The hotel turns off the radiators at night.
