Good location/staff, bad hotel

Liked:This hotel would be nothing without its staff; from the guys at reception to the housekeeping team, they are a 10/10—everything is impeccable, and they are truly very friendly. The location is spectacular, too.

Disliked:First of all, the photos are very outdated or AI-generated. Our room was very basic; we even ended up with two separate beds when I had requested a large bed. Our window faced a ventilation duct that was very noisy day and night—we could barely sleep. The shower door was poor quality and barely slid open. There is no elevator, and the breakfast was very basic with little variety. The hotel is in need of renovation; there were parts held together with adhesive tape.
