The breakfast was satisfactory. The employees were friendly and helpful.
When I asked for toilet paper by phone, the service desk directed I go downstairs to get it. Services are not really provided to guests. The water flow in the shower was also weak.

i found the entire place to be clean. a nespresso machine awaited in my room and a minibar kept drinks perfectly chilled. a built-in speaker allowed for personalized music. the shower offered both warmth and good water pressure after a long day.
the pillows felt softer than i prefer, but it was a minor detail

the room featured a spacious layout and thoughtful design. i enjoyed the ample natural light from large windows that gave us a lovely scenery. the decor included soft, romantic colors and modern furnishings and the bed was quite inviting.
