excellent stay, just a minor hiccup

tea facilities modern bathroom fresh pastries
The room i had was lovely with great facilities for tea and coffee. The modern bathroom was also a plus. the products smelled lovely and seemed complete, covering all needs. i also enjoyed the breakfast included with fresh pastries and good options for both continental and cooked choices.
dinner menu felt somewhat limited, with vegetarian dishes dominating it. adding gratuities to every drink order was also an inconvenience at the bar. there weren't any wardrobes in the room, and i lived out of my suitcase , which wasn't ideal.

superb stay in a stylish location

friendly staff stylish design
the staff were great throughout my stay. i appreciated the spaciousness and stylish design of the bedroom, it created a relaxing environment. the location in the centre of town allowed for easy access to local attractions.
i found the dinner menu somewhat limited, with an abundance of vegetarian dishes. this made selecting a meal slightly difficult for those preferring meat options.

I liked the bathroom. It had nice details. The room layout work well for me. The room was good.
Breakfast was very bad. Water in teapots was cold. I requested hot water, and I got lukewarm water. The teapots were only half filled, so one small cup of tea was possible.
