The hotel had easy access to public transport. The check-in process was simple (a relief after a long trip). The bar and breakfast area looked appealing. I appreciated the air conditioning during the warmer days.
There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. I asked for a kettle at reception. By the time I returned to the hotel, the shops were closed (I really wanted a coffee that night!).
