great location, some small issues

river proximity airport transfer packed breakfast

the hotel is close to the river. many restaurants surround it. staff offered to make a packed breakfast since i left early. the hotel organized a transfer to the airport and it cost a little more than a normal taxi.

i wasnt keen on the bathroom door. it was a sliding one and didnt give much privacy. the pillows were also too soft for me. these are items that could be better .

The staff made a basic packed breakfast for my early departure. They also organized the airport transfer. It cost only a few euros more than a regular taxi. Toiletries provided were excellent. The hotel organized a transfer to the airport at 06:30, a very convenient service.

The bathroom door was sliding and did not provide much privacy, though this was a minor inconvenience.
