hard beds simple breakfast

The beds felt quite hard (like sleeping on a board, almost). I could also hear street noise quite clearly in my room. Considering this, sleep wasn't as restful as I'd hoped. breakfast was a bit simple. There was not much variety (one cheese type, one salami type). A bit disappointing.

the room was spacious and clean.

The nightclub next door made it impossible to sleep before 3 am. The noise was so loud! the beds were also uncomfortable, i could feel every spring. the breakfast selection was quite limited, and i was really hoping for some fresh, local bread.
