All was nice; check in went fast already at 1.30 PM.
But, there are no dark curtains in front of the windows in the room; how do you suppose people can sleep in the summer if already now the lights of the traffic and buildings came to the room in the winter?

Okay hotel, not the best view on the second floor towards the back yard and also I was woken up by noise from workers in the room next to mine from changing tv screens I think. In my room the card board was left when arriving to the room..
