Posizione, i letti erano molto comodi.

The only thing was that the bathroom door was very difficult to open; it doesn't have a proper handle. The shower is positioned sideways, which also made it difficult to take a shower.

There was a cheap and quick and normal price breakfast, thats a great idea and budget friendly. Also great location and atmosphere at and around the hotel. The place is clean and modern, no issues there. The rooms were also quiet.

The bed was a bit too stiff including the pillows, but thats also depending on personal preference. I was on the ground floor, so my window looked at the garden and if I opened the window, anyone could climb in, so I went with the AC instead:).

Quiet location but not isolated, with some restaurants nearby. Interior style delightful for me. Fortunately, I was assigned the quiet room I had requested, overlooking the inner courtyard with a wonderful tree (if I had the room facing the street, I think the experience would have been very different for me). Excellent and plentiful breakfast. The room, although rather small, had everything I needed, there was no noise from forced ventilation (which I usually suffer from), and a kettle and a coffee machine available! Reliable wifi, I managed to work well even from the room.

Breakfast had few options available without gluten and dairy (two plant-based milks and one gluten-free roll displayed per day), but I only have a mild intolerance so I didn't ask for more and ate what was offered. I think this aspect could be improved. Also, on one occasion, the reception staff could have been more kind/collaborative in accommodating a favor request - it was a favor, so they were not obliged, but in my opinion, it would have been feasible and I would have appreciated it.
