I was thinking between 3 or 4 stars. Great location, the hotel is very pretty inside. But the AC is very loud, the mattress is hard as rock, the view was on the wall, no shelves in the bathroom, the pillows are very uncomfortable. The breakfast could be better as well: they only had different cheeses and cuts of meat and salmon, some fruits, cereal, milk, yogurts, boiled and scrambled egg, sausage and bacon,lots of different pastry. That is it, I don’t know why people said the breakfast is great, this is not a great selection. Location is great, but the little alley you would need to walk through always smelled like piss, they could have cleaned it at least for the guests. And the worst thing: duvet doesn’t have a duvet cover! It just two sheets around it, why?! In the middle of the night you always end up somehow without that sheet, meaning you are covered by a duvet which was covered by lots of other people without wash in between. Just use normal duvet cover! The room seemed specious for Europe ,deep safe which would fit a laptop. Overall it was fine but I wouldn’t return to this hotel especially because of the bed , loud ac, and the view on the wall
