Checking in at the bar was quite efficient. I received a physical key for my room. It felt very traditional. The room was clean and included amenities, such as coffee, tea, and a water boiler. The bathroom was also quite nice with a shower.
The street noise was noticeable at times, particularly in the early morning.
