Some Issues Noticed

poor bar service strange rule
The hotel's location in the city center was convenient.
I had an issue with the bar service. I was told I could not get a drink at the bar at 10:30 PM (after coming back from dinner) until the night staff arrived in half an hour, I found this strange. The person even asked if I was a resident, and I still couldn't get a drink.

room décor nice shower city center location slow breakfast long wait empty items
I found the room décor quite nice. I had a big shower in the bathroom and I really liked it. The location in the city center was very convenient (especially for seeing the cathedral).
The breakfast was slow. I waited a long time for coffee. Many items were empty including yogurt and pastries, disappointing.
