slow breakfaststreet noise
The breakfast service was slow. there was no self-service option available. All orders were placed with staff. I missed having fresh fruits. also, the room lacked adequate soundproofing, and street noise was noticeable late into the night, which affected my sleep. it was really annoying

Really good Stay, Comfort, Cuisine, and Courteous Service

coffee podsseparate showerample portionprivate car park
The room offered coffee pods. The bathroom included a bath and a separate shower. I found the breakfast plentiful and cooked to order. An evening meal tasted top quality. The menu had a slightly limited selection, yet everything was cooked to order and provided in ample portions.
I noted no private car park. The location can get noisy at night. On Thursday night, staff turned up the music. Loud thumping music played from below for two hours.
