The staff was helpful and friendly.staff was nice...good restaurant...good food. good services. Good staff, restaurant excellent; dinner and breakfast v. good. A little bit noise in a room located to the main street. When making your reservation, make sure to ask for a room facing the inner courtyard. This rooms are excellent for resting.The parking area is difficult to reach, there is no information about the one way street where the parking is located. noise from the street. some parts of the hotel seems old fashioned. no room safe...In some rooms, the beds were not very good, but it looked like they were already replacing the old beds. the tables in restaurant are moving too much. The noise from the train(i know that can't be helped). I haven't liked the fact that they don't have more parking space free of charge.the first room was not prepared at all (the maid forgot to make it), so they had to change the room, it was done very quickly though. high level of street noise and rather old windows made it hard to sleep; we had to use ear plugs.Noise. traffic noise. The noise of the traffic. the bathroom not so clea, no waste-paper basket, the shower is fixed and inconfortable; the room havn't appropiate furniture( a little too old and that' make smelling like an old house; the drapperies old fashion;. I had an impression that rooms are air conditioned. I was wrong. Plus windows are not well screening from the street noise. apart of that I was really satisfied. Little bit old bed, there should have been a microwave in the kitchen. No provision for making tea, although cups were present :-) And tea/coffee was only available when restaurant was open so kind of uncomfortable to walk across the road for a person like me who gets up late.the bathroom,the wooden windows that made sonic isolation very poor from trafic cars. the windows are too thin and you can hear all night the noise coming from the main street. Noisy if you have a room on the street. You pay extra for A/C (which you need because of the street noise when you have to close the windows.Pay extra for the use of a safe. Suddenly the room gets a bit pricey!!. Room stank of stale niccotine - had to leave windows open and traffic noise was awful. We did ask for a non-smoking room.
