No noise at all from outside but could hear all rooms surrounding me and upstairs! Something to bear in mind! Room small but big enough at same time. Shower powerful. Bed and pillows comfy. Clean. Tea and coffee provided and can top up from supplies in floors foyer. Breakfast available for €11 but I ate out each day. Fridge in room. Rooftop bar not open to serve drinks but I took my own up and sat and enjoyed the view. Felt very safe in hotel and surrounding areas. Would happily return."
