the spa facilities included an excellent swimming pool. breakfast offered a great choice. the bedroom was spotlessly clean, i must say.

the front desk staff was particularly helpful. they provided recommendations and extra pillows promptly. the location of the hotel is convenient. the high street is just a short walk across the bridge.
i encountered a small issue with the room provided. it felt quite small, resembling a closet more than a regular room. the front door of block 10 was very loud. it would bang shut whenever someone entered or exited the area.
