convenient locationnoisy air conditioninglack of eggs
the location was very convenient for exploring the city center.
I encountered a few issues . The entrance was often closed, requiring a long walk around. the air conditioning in my room also made a constant knocking noise, it was quite disruptive. breakfast lacked eggs, it was surprising.

i found the location quite convenient. it was a short walk to harkers bar (about 3-4 minutes along the canal). the room was designed like a small suite with two separate areas, which worked well.
the hotel gym music was audible from my room, interfering with relaxation.
