quality food attentive staff complementary soap small bed tiny sheet bad sleep

the breakfast buffet had a wide choice of quality foods. attentive staff organized it well. the hotel provided nice touches like complementary soaps and moisturisers. rooms also included coffee machines and a kettle..

i noticed the double beds are actually two small beds pushed together. the sheets were also tiny. it reminded me of trying to sleep under a postage stamp. i didn't have a good night's sleep because of this.

a good stay

spacious room coffee machine spa time

the room was quite spacious and had wonderful facilities including a coffee pod machine with regular top ups with the room service. i used the free 30 minutes of spa time each day. the breakfast had loads of options with more coffee which was tasty and a nice way to begin the morning.

the coffee was really poor similar to that from a hospital vending machine. it would be much nicer to have individual drip coffee pots for each table if a proper coffee machine is not possible.
