the location was perfect, right by the station. the room size was great, and the complimentary drinks were a lovely treat. the shower was also great, and comfy dressing gowns were included. breakfast was really tasty with many options (i especially enjoyed the pastries).

The location near the train station was convenient.
The room smelled strongly of urine, very unpleasant. the in-room fridge did not work at all. I woke up early because cleaners made a lot of noise while cleaning nearby rooms.

I encountered two notable issues . Access to the champagne lounge proved problematic. External bookings took precedence. Hotel residents who did not pre-book found themselves excluded from this space. the non-slip shower mat presented a safety concern. My mother slipped on this mat.
