city centerbreakfast experienceroom temperatureroom service
the location is good. It is a short walk to the palace gardens and the heart of the city. The breakfast experience was also a highlight. It was one of the best with a steam room and a gym.
the room temperature was not right. there was no way to control it within the room. i stayed two nights and no one cleaned the room during that time. there was no way of contacting the reception from the room because there was no intercom or phone.
