Some issues need ATTENTION

limited storageuseless shower
The room had hardly any storage. I found only four of those horrible non-removable hangers in an almost inaccessible place behind a mirror. The shower is, i'm afraid, useless! It's above the bath and there's no way of operating it without standing directly underneath it. This means you get drenched immediately before you've had a chance to mix it.

Solid city stay

helpful stafforiginal roombreakfast chefcomfy bed
The staff were really helpful and cute. The receptionist changed our room with no hesitation after we discovered the original one lacked a bath. The chef at breakfast freshly prepared our order and personally delivered it to our table. THAT was a nice gesture. The comfy beds included fluffy white towels and a full-sized iron with board.
