Decent stay , but some issues
clean room comfortable bed breakfast snacks poor wifi network problem ground floor room
The room was quite clean. Beds felt comfortable. I thought the cereals , milk , yogurt , and fruits provided were very thoughtful , because breakfast is not available at the hotel.
The WiFi did not work at all. The network disappeared constantly. I could not log in. I guess the router is in the bar and its signal does not reach rooms on the ground floor.

lovely stay
friendly staff breakfast basket central location
i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the breakfast basket was a lovely surprise and had everything i needed to start my day. the central location made it easy to walk to nearby attractions.
i noticed the bathroom's design made it a little awkward to get in and out of the shower. it could use a small adjustment for easier access.

adequate stay
motorised blind excellent staff breakfast items high gates locked hotel room access
The room was equipped well and very clean. I ESPECIALLY liked the motorised blind on the Velux window. Breakfast items in the room and the fridge were a nice touch. The staff were excellent at all times.
High gates were locked around the hotel. I was not given the code. I was also not told how to get access to my room, as I wasn't told that the hotel was locked in this way. The local police had to help me over the gates as they were too high to climb over.
