i found the bar area really charming with its unique furniture. it created such a comfortable vibe. my room was a cosy room and was compact, yet perfect for what i needed.

i was a bit bummed that there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. i had to walk down the corridor for a hot drink and use a paper cup. the shower leaked a little, flooding the toilet area.
