The building is very old and as such requires constant maintenance. This meant scaffolding by my room's windows and noisy work during my stay. The receptionists are not quite friendly, had to ask multiple times about in-room Internet being out-of-order.

They booked our room right above an event space. Was terribly noisy. Had to make a request for them to drop the partying and music, which all took time.
