It is ok, but nothing...

Liked: Location is great
Disliked: There were too many stairs, and this was not written anywhere. The building is two joined buildings and there stairs in corridors, and there is no lift to 3rd floor. You have to carry suitcases. The bar of the hotel is a speakeasy but it was booked with regulars, hotel customers do not have a priority.
