the staff showed real kindness. i received a free upgrade to the roomy king. the bed and pillows were amazing and made me consider replacing my own.
The unusual music in the reception area clashed with the hotel's hip decor. i found it somewhat distracting..

super comfortable bedfriendly staffkind gesture
The room was super clean, and the bed was super comfortable. I slept so well. The staff were very friendly. They helped me with local directions. The hotel also provided a sweet treat and water upon checking out. I thought this was a kind gesture.
The room was a bit small. It was hard to move around with my luggage. I managed though!

The breakfast included a gluten-free English breakfast option with perfectly cooked pouched eggs. I found nice shower gel and shampoo in my room. The hotel provided fresh milk for tea and coffee without needing to ask. That was thoughtful.
The hotel is a little out of the central area, which required a short walk.
