Central location, small issues

free breakfast24-hour caféwalking tourambient noise
I enjoyed the free breakfast options offered each morning. The 24-hour café provided convenient access to coffee and snacks, very helpful. Staff arranged a guided walking tour, that was full of information. They also arranged our transportation.
The room assigned to me initially faced the interior atrium. Noise seeped in past the atrium's glass roof from a nearby nightclub into the early morning. I had to ask to change the room to get a better night's sleep.

My beautiful room included a separate seating area and a work desk. A mini-fridge was also available for storing drinks and snacks. The blackout curtains did a good job of blocking light from the city.

The breakfast was acceptable but the service was rushed.
The biggest problem was noise because all the rooms are next to a central atrium. The doors are not soundproof, there are gaps under them (I was really hoping to get some rest).
