car park discount communal lounge complimentary tea

the location proved excellent , placing the stadium just a short distance away. the staff secured a car park discount before i arrived , a gesture i found helpful. the communal lounge with complimentary tea and coffee added a personal touch , a detail i deeply appreciated.

i noticed a slight sound from the street during the night.

really good breakfast central location unpleasant smell limited storage

The location is AMAZING, right in the city center, near EVERYTHING! Breakfast was really good. I especially liked the temperature control in the bedroom. Really good!

The bathroom had an unpleasant smell, I couldn't tell if it was from incense, oil, or cleaning products. I also noticed that there was little to no storage for clothes if you were staying longer than one night.

Really good Boutique Hotel Experience

colorful tiling lounge area honesty bar

The room featured Mediterranean decor and was very clean. The bathroom included a spacious walk in shower and colorful tiling. I appreciated the lounge area that was near the bedrooms as it had a large nespresso machine that prepared a range of teas and coffees. The honesty bar was reasonably priced and stocked with a wide range of drinks and snacks.

I noticed a little street noise overnight.
