cramped room street noise
The room felt quite cramped. we struggled to find space for our luggage, and maneuvering around the bed was a bit of a challenge. also, the noise from the street was noticeable, especially at night. It disrupted sleep on a couple of occasions (maybe i should have requested a room facing the back).

I found the breakfast to be amazing with a buffet style, it had a beautiful outdoor view, where one could eat on the terrace by the pool. the room i had was spacious, clean, and it had a lovely view. The bed was also comfortable (i slept like a baby!).
