short walk friendly staff luggage storage
The location was excellent , just a short walk to the main attractions. Many restaurants are nearby, with choices. I found the staff very friendly and accommodating , especially when I asked to store my luggage.
The noise at night was quite disruptive , with tourists talking until late. Garbage collection and street cleaning started early. Soundproofing seems minimal.

The hotel is conveniently located, being less than ten minutes on foot from the iconic tower. It's also about fifteen minutes walking distance to the main railway station, very practical.
