attentive stafflarge bedmid-century stylingabsent airconsmall roommain road
The staff was very attentive. The room had a generous size with a very large bed and air-conditioning. The mid-century styling in the suite was nice.
Rooms have no air con especially as it's on a main road so it can be noisy. The rooms were surprisingly small so they couldn't even fit a chair.

missing televisioninadequate insulation
The room lacked a television, which i consider a standard amenity. sound insulation also proved inadequate. i heard conversations from the adjacent room quite clearly. additionally, a persistent buzzing sound disrupted sleep. The staff seemed aware but offered no immediate solution. these issues detract from the overall experience, considering the room rate.

The staff displayed kindness. They offered me oat latte plus a croissant. the room upgrade on arrival reminded me of a grand gesture. the bed, so soft, presented a view of the harbour. complimentary drinks and cookies were a welcome surprise after a long journey.
The buzzing noise at night made sleep a little difficult. I mentioned it at reception.

The complimentary cookies upon arrival tasted heavenly. our king room sea view featured soft bedding with lovely harbour views. in the morning, i received an oat latte and a warm croissant to take away. It was very thoughtful.
The shower unexpectedly stopped working one morning. There was no easy way to contact the staff.
