The staff were helpful. they gave us lots of extra information. the location is great. It's just a couple of tram stops from the gribaldi palace. the breakfast selection was lovely. i really liked the breakfast area. It was cool.

I was quite disappointed. the room was much smaller than expected, and the soundproofing was terrible, you could hear everything. the shower handle was broken, so i had to hold it the entire time. It was really inconvenient.
