We had room a facing the backyard which was quiet. There was ventilation in the room which made the room cool although the temperature was up to 40 degrees Celsius outside. There was some noice from the ventilator but it was a constant sound (like being on a boat) so you could sleep through it just fine. The bed was a bit hard, but you could get a top mattress if you wanted and also extra pillows. The location of the hotel was great. It was a 3 minute walk to the train station, and about a 10 minute walk to the parklinglot where the tourist busses went from. There was a Starbucks neareby and a litle shop where you could get cupcakes, sandwiches and juices. Across the street there was a cholate shop. It was also not that far to a grocery store called Coop, about a 10 minute walk in the oposite direction of the train station.
