My single room provided ample space and included an armchair, a desk, a chest of drawers, and a wardrobe. The shower room was also a good size and equipped well. I found all the hotel areas I visited scrupulously clean. A friendly and efficient team was available at all times.
My only slight issue was the coffee, as I thought its quality could be improved.

my room was quite nice. the tv was easy to use, and i found the wifi connection reliable. i really appreciated the kettle with a good selection of drink options. breakfast selections were excellent, with various cooked and other options available. i enjoyed cereal, fruit, meats, cheese, granola, fruit yogurt, and pastries.
check-in was a little disorganized. there was no record of my payment on the hotel side, even though i had paid before arrival. this made the check-in process longer than expected, a bit frustrating
