tasty varietyoutside terrace
the breakfast selections offered tasty variety. i particularly enjoyed the option to eat outside on the terrace. the hotel provided a transfer from the airport for 60 euros. this rate seemed reasonable when compared to the cost for a family using the metro.
there was some minor mold present on the window frames in my room.

Average Stay with a Few Downsides

black moldlow shower pressure
The room was not great. Black mold grew on the window frames, and the shower had low pressure. The shower curtain was old. I also noted that there was no door handle inside my room door. These issues caused my stay to feel less comfortable than I had hoped.
