Acceptable but disappointing room

The staff was helpful and gave information about local attractions near the hotel
The room felt quite empty and cold I did not feel very comfortable there. It lacked functionality for a comfortable stay. It needed more attention to guest comfort and less to artistic concept

I found the staff friendly. They created a cute environment. the location worked well, with easy access to nearby trains. the quirky art throughout the hotel stood out.
Our room lacked furniture. It didn't match the hotel website's picture. there were no chairs, so there was no place to relax. this made the room less comfortable.
