was very good at every turn!

nespresso machine steam iron kind staff breakfast spread
the room had a nespresso machine and a kettle. a steam iron was readily available along with a mini bar. the staff showed excellent kindness and provided helpful service. breakfast presented an amazing spread that included both a buffet and an a la carte menu.
the public parking involved a brief 5-minute walk back to the hotel, slightly inconvenient.

balanced stay

good size room clean room great location unavailable parking wet towel staff issue
the room was a good size. it was very clean (i really liked it!). breakfast was great with a wide choice of well prepared food and drinks. the hotel is in a great location. it is very quiet but within easy walk of the city centre and other attractions.
upon arrival the close parking for the car was not available. i called weeks before to book it. the answer was it was not necessary to book. next morning i left the towels on the floor as there were no rods to let them dry and we wanted dry ones. the staff just picked them up from the floor, folded them and put them back wet on the shelve.

Excellent boutique experience

modern design fast check-in welcome drink
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.

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

malfunctioning minibar indifferent 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.
