Not enough plug outlets near beds. I would rather a bathroom door vs frosted glass door. Glass door not as private. Very close to city center and activities. Easy to walk about and your staff was so pleasant. Thank you.

Stayed multiple times, you know what you are getting. Big bed, quiet room and clean. Rooms are "cosy" but as I was travelling for work it was perfect as I didn't spend much time in the room. Bar area is good and staff are always great
