The doorman, daniel, welcomed us so kindly. he remembered our names easily and offered such generous recommendations. pedro at the front desk ensured our stay was flawless. He were great.
the room was not soundproofed. noise was quite an issue because of this! the reception staff were not as accommodating as i hoped when a problem arose with my bill. i was not offered any compensation for that first night.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. That was acceptable.
I was not warned about it, and the noise started early each morning. It made relaxing in the room difficult and was quite disruptive. It spoiled my stay a bit. The hotel should have informed me about this before I checked in.
