Decent Stay, Some Issues

roof lightkey cardhot breakfast
The room was bright and clean with a roof light.
No hot breakfast options disappointed me. I also faced issues with the key card. I could not access my room later in the evening (this happened even though it was quickly resolved). I expected some compensation for the inconvenience considering the price.

fantastic stay!

i loved how modern the room was , it included a desk area great for getting work done. the bathroom was functional and the lighted bath mirror was a plus. i found plenty of storage for clothes , which really helped keep everything organized.
the breakfast was okay , there were no hot options except for porridge which i thought was a little bit disappointing.

the triple room featured wonderfully clean hallway carpets , i was impressed. the view from the room allowed us to open windows for a nice breeze. having a supermarket so close made quick trips for snacks easy.
