It was a very enjoyable experience. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of hot and cold options, from made‑to‑order eggs and fresh pastries to seasonal fruits and cereals, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel’s location couldn’t be more convenient, with shops, cafés, and public transit just steps away, and my room was well‑equipped with a comfortable bed, desk, ample storage, and thoughtful extras like a kettle and quality toiletries. The only downside was the bathroom’s condition: the shower handle was loose with exposed screws, and there were small patches of mold on the ceiling and shower wall, which could be easily remedied with a bit of maintenance and a deep clean.
