unbearable heatunsettling atmosphere

I must say, i was rather displeased with a few aspects of my stay. the lack of air conditioning was a significant issue. The room became unbearably hot. additionally, the hotel's proximity to the hospital meant shared common areas with patients. This created an unsettling atmosphere that i found less than ideal.

Underground parking was available, really convenient. I even received a free public transport ticket. Breakfast included a variety of cheeses and breads. The chocolate drinks were AMAZING!!!

The lighting controls near the bed were a little too sensitive. I accidentally turned on the light a couple of times during the night.

The hotel is located right next to a metro station. This made it very easy to travel around with the complimentary travel pass provided. The location was quiet and provided a peaceful night's rest. Breakfast offered many choices.

The room lacked air conditioning, uncomfortably warm. It was difficult to sleep well because of the temperature. I could not open the windows.
