Early Breakfast Arrival

To avoid the breakfast rush and ensure a better experience, consider arriving early for breakfast as it can get crowded towards the end, and some items may not be available.

Consider Noise Levels

Keep in mind that being an old building, the hotel may have a different noise level compared to newer hotels. This is something to consider if you are sensitive to noise.
