stained shower mat unsecured soap bottle
The shower mat had stains. It looked unclean even after washing. the soap bottle in the shower worried me because it was glass and not secured, a safety concern! the shower itself was quite slippery. also, one of the water bottles seemed to have been opened and refilled from the tap, which i found unhygienic.

small room poor lighting
The room was too small. The sleigh bed frame took up SOOO much space. There was hardly any room to move around and no proper closet, just some knobs on the wall. the dark blue carpet on the stairs, combined with poor lighting, made it difficult to see at night. This is a HUGE issue if you have any sight problems.

Good Stay in a Charming Boutique Hotel
great linen powerful shower quality coffee
Our room, Lovely & Larger Room, featured great bed linen. The freestanding bath and powerful shower were also highlights. Excellent quality coffee, teas, and biscuits were provided, I thought. We found the location convenient, a short walk to the city centre.
One of the water bottles in the room was already opened and looked refilled.
