Excellent boutique experience

modern designfast check-inwelcome drinkstaff inexperience
I enjoyed the modern design elements in the hotel. The fast check-in process was convenient. A complimentary welcome drink (beer or sparkling wine) at the bar was offered, which i found a nice touch. The breakfast was great (especially the eggs offered from the menu).
The staff didn't seem to know a lot about the hotel, for example about parking.
Location

The location is next to St Catherine's church. It is within a walking distance to almost everything. This makes it easy to navigate and access nearby attractions. There is a neighborhood pizza restaurant nearby.

Acceptable, but some issues require attention

convenient locationmalfunctioning minibarindifferent staff
The room offered adequate space and light. The location was convenient, with access to nearby attractions.
I encountered some disappointments. The climate control in the room did not function properly, causing discomfort during the night. The minibar was also not working, an inconvenience. The staff seemed indifferent to these issues, offering no apology or attempt to rectify the situation.
