The Orient Express is in a very transit street, had a bit noice up to midnight. The staff was excellent, they would attend to your request and needs immediately. The bathrooms are not big at all, and they lack space to put anything on. Overall I was happy to stay here for a few nights but if longer I would probably look elsewhere.
