fresh breakfast spacious room cosy bed
The breakfast had many options and tasted fresh. i especially enjoyed the salmon and scrambled eggs. I had it every morning. the room was quite spacious and the bed felt very comfortable (it was very cosy!).

i found the breakfast great. i loved the wide choice of cereals, a full english and salmon with scrambled eggs. staff in the restaurant was also friendly. the cleaning team did a grand job keeping the room cleaned and super clean.
the room was a bit noisy. i heard constant plumbing noises of flushing toilets. i thought there was air in the plumbing system as well. this noise went on throughout the night, so i did not had much sleep.
