uncomfortable bednoticeable noise

The room felt pretty outdated (a HUGE disappointment). I think it needs a refresh. The bed wasn't comfortable. I could hear every movement. The noise from neighboring rooms was also noticeable.

perfect locationmain squaredaily cleaningnice staff

the location was superb, just steps from the main square. i found the bus stop only 200 meters away, a great convenience. room service was consistent with daily towel changes and cleaning. the staff were approachable and always had a nice attitude.

the shower setup allowed water to escape, a minor inconvenience without a bathmat to manage it.

the garden setting charmed me, a good space for quiet moments. the staff showed genuine kindness and were quick to help with requests. i was even allowed to use some facilities after i checked out, a thoughtful gesture that eased my travels.

the bed wasn't quite as comfortable as i hoped for a sound sleep, and i noticed some sounds from adjacent rooms.
