mixed experience due to noise and bed configuration

good breakfastuncomfortable gappoor soundproofing

the breakfast was different from other hotels, but it was very good.

I was disappointed. the double bed was not a true double bed. It was two single beds pushed together. there was a gap in the middle, and it was uncomfortable. also, the room soundproofing isn't great. I could hear everything from the corridor at all hours. it isn't great when you are trying to sleep.
