a dreamy escape

friendly stafffestive atmosphereconvenient locationunexpected touch
The staff was friendly, especially at the rooftop bar, where the cocktails were AMAZING!!! the christmas decorations throughout the hotel created such a festive, warm atmosphere. i found the location very convenient. It was an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. the vinyl player in the room with a selection of records was such a cute, unexpected touch.
the music was a bit loud during check-in, so i had some difficulty hearing the receptionist.

i found the staff quite friendly. i loved the beautiful room with its great facilities. the bathroom was particularly lovely with its amazing shower. the location near the train station was ideal.
The music was loud upon check-in. It was hard to hear the receptionist. loud music woke us. It seemed like we were above a nightclub. i think the noise came from the gym.
