the staff was friendly. there was a sky bar that seemed like a Little oasis in a busy city.

the initial room given to me was too dark. I do think they should ensure all rooms are equally suitable upon arrival. i was later upgraded to a better room on a higher floor.

The room provided a peaceful respite with high quality bedding and fluffy towels. Housekeeping maintained everything super clean a testament to their dedication. I appreciated the hotel's attention to detail. The building's unique interior design created a warm ambiance. The location also allowed for easy access to nearby attractions.

I noticed the sink area in the bathroom felt a little small. It made things a bit tight when we were both getting ready.

The hotel featured a functional gym with three treadmills and two stationary bikes. The spa included a sauna and a small jacuzzi (it was perfect after long walks). My room had a coffee machine with capsules, which I used every morning. I found the large bed very comfortable with good bed linen.

I had a slight issue with the air conditioning, I could only adjust it through reception.
