The location proves convenient. It allows easy access to various points of interest.
I found the lack of thorough housekeeping disappointing. Empty coffee mugs from the previous day remained uncollected. The minibar also remained unstocked despite usage..

I loved the coffee shop near the entrance and its cute ambience. the staff were generous with bar pours at the rooftop bar. This made the evenings nice. i received complimentary champagne and a lovely note. the hotel décor had beautiful color schemes.
The hotel's wifi setup was a little unusual. It seemed connected to the tv, tricky to use at first.

central location separate toilet comfortable bed
The location was AMAZING. I could walk to many attractions from there. The room featured a separate toilet area from the rest of the bathroom, this was so convenient. The bed was large AND comfortable.
The mini bar selection was a bit pricey, that's all (but who uses those anyway?).
