Wonderful stay!

amazing staffcomplimentary snacksfresh juicelimited breakfast
I found the staff amazing. They were great. They were always ready to help with anything i needed. A highlight was the complimentary snacks and drinks (especially the smoothies!). i enjoyed fresh juices, coffee, tea, and a variety of snacks whenever i wanted.
The breakfast was average. The continental breakfast was a little disappointing because there were no cheese or cold cuts. i could only have toast with jam, chocolate or marmalade.

the pantry provided complimentary soft drinks and snacks.. this was a convenient touch. i also appreciated the luggage storage after checkout, allowing me to explore a bit more before leaving.
the saloon doors halfway along the corridor were tricky to navigate with a suitcase.

The breakfast was freshly cooked. It was VERY tasty. Staff were friendly. The price was great, 150€ for 2 nights. The staff are friendly and SO helpful.
The mattresses were thin. I could feel the bed itself through the mattress. Bedding was stained. The window did not stay open. The decor was tired, and there were stains on the walls.
