Convenient access to transit, room was great for 3 people. The property needs better insulation since we can hear all the noises from the outside and above. We could even hear the metro going by, cars going by and even people yelling from the outside. Breakfast cost of 15 Euros was a decent price

The hotel is easy access for taxis being on a Main Street. The room with three beds was perfect for us, large and bright. It was nice to have a rooftop with bar and pool. The views are amazing. The breakfast was also very nice. Easy check in but we couldn’t have access to our room until 3 o’clock.
