super experience
helpful staff dinner reservation smeg fridge nespresso machine
I found the staff really helpful upon arrival. A great team assisted with check-in. the manager secured a dinner reservation at the restaurant, as it was almost fully booked. This proved wonderful. my room included a smeg mini fridge and a nespresso machine. i liked the inclusion of shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in the shower.
The room got very hot, so i had to keep the window open constantly. This made it quite loud because of street noise.

central location helpful staff ground floor back street
The location was central, a very convenient aspect. i found the staff friendly and helpful. the room included some nice extras. Straighteners were available along with a fridge.
The room was located on the ground floor. the window faced a back street, this meant people could see directly into the room. we had to keep the blackout curtains closed for privacy reasons. The room became quite dark with only three small lamps providing light.

The location is unbeatable. The room had a coffee machine and a kettle. a fridge stocked very well. The bathroom was spacious, including lovely toiletries, I felt very pampered.
I received a reply from the hotel several days later, but only after I had already checked out, this was inconvenient.
