Mixed Feelings About This Stay

decent breakfasthumid roomdamp smell

The breakfast selection was decent enough with many choices available.

My superior double room wasn't as nice as the pictures online showed. It felt a bit run-down. The air conditioning seemed controlled by the reception and barely worked so the room felt humid. It smelled damp so my clothes reeked after this stay.

Super stay!

helpful staffgreat locationinsufficient air conditioning

i found the staff helpful, especially Dominic. every minor issue i encountered got resolved almost immediately. free bikes were a great bonus, i loved using them! the location is excellent.

the air conditioning seemed pretty useless during my summer stay. the room felt far too hot, it was really uncomfortable. i wish they could adjust it more effectively.

acceptable breakfastsmall roomlow quality food

the breakfast was acceptable, nothing special but it did the job.

My room was way too small. the air conditioning was a complete joke. I could not adjust it myself and had to constantly call the reception, super annoying. the restaurant food was also really low quality, it tasted like everything was pre-made.
