fantastic hotel stay

fresh pastries helpful staff

The breakfast was varied, with fresh pastries and a good selection of fruits. the staff were helpful in providing directions and suggesting local attractions (especially useful for first-time visitors like me). i also appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms. They were regularly tidied and well-kept.

the room i stayed in could have benefited from better soundproofing. noise from nearby buildings was noticeable at times, disrupting sleep.
