breakfast selectionconvenient locationfriendly staffuncomfortable pillowsblanket holesseparate beds
The breakfast offered a very good selection. I found the location convenient for both train access and reaching the river. Staff members at the reception and during breakfast were consistently friendly and professional.
The pillows were not comfortable for sleeping. I noticed a few holes in the blanket. The bed was not a proper double as it consisted of two separate beds pushed together.

the breakfast was amazing, a very generous spread (i especially liked the fresh fruit options). the room was spacious, something i definitely value. the staff were helpful. the central location was great for accessing restaurants.
The pillows were not great. I thought their quality was poor. the tv was not a smart tv. I could only watch local channels.
