i enjoyed the food at the bar, it felt really cute. the staff were especially nice and helpful! it was a treat to see such friendly faces after a long day, and the good food was a nice bonus.

the room was a bit too warm for my taste, and it was noisy. i found it a bit difficult to relax fully. the price seemed a bit high considering these factors too, it was a bit disappointing.

the room was very clean and comfy after a long journey. the staff were cute, helpful, and efficient. breakfast was delicious, i especially liked the fresh pastries (they were hard to resist!).

My room faced the back of the building, so the view was not great. i noticed some wear and tear in the bathroom. The shower grout could use some attention. the lack of a lift made it a bit difficult with heavy luggage (especially after all those pastries!).
