small elevator missing handrails

The hotel is close to the tram station. It is a five-minute walk. the location is useful.

The single elevator is very small. Four people with luggage barely fit. this required two trips during peak times. the stairs do not have handrails.

basic breakfast annoying noise

The breakfast was disappointing. It felt quite basic for a four-star hotel. I thought that they could offer a better variety and quality of food. there was a strange noise that sounded like a big ventilation system when I turned on the light in my room, it was a really annoying noise , made it hard for me to relax. I didn't like that at all.
