every staff member showed such positivity and a helpful attitude. the room looked new and clean. the breakfast selection was really lovely. the location near the river made for a quick walk into the city center. i really enjoyed everything.
the air conditioner seemed stuck at 22 degrees. i had to open the window. the fans for the air conditioning were right outside. it was quite noisy and disturbed my sleep.

usb portsfriendly staffgood choices
The room had USB ports next to the wall sockets which was useful since I did not have a wall adapter. Staff was friendly. The breakfast had good choices with plenty available. The hotel was quiet. It was a short walk to the city center.
The bar area was small and there were very few comfortable places to sit and have a drink.

An Okay Stay, but Some Issues

acceptable breakfastinadequate lightinglack of extractor fan
The breakfast was acceptable, even if nothing special (it did fill me up).
The room lacked a proper mirror with adequate lighting. Applying makeup was a struggle. The bathroom had no extractor fan, resulting in mold in some areas. the selection of beverages was limited. I don't drink tea or coffee, so some hot chocolate would have been welcome.
