I found the breakfast was a definite highlight of my stay. It offered a good experience. the reception team provided me with a room next door for sleeping when the ac stopped working late in the evening. the mattress was comfortable, and the shower was super clean with a strong water stream. the large tvs featured a convenient broadcasting option.

The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. i found the public transport links easy to use, helpful since the hotel is a bit outside the center. the bright, modern decor was also charming. I liked the hints of the building's history as a riding school.

The in-room beverage station was not great. there were no coffee pods or sugar when i arrived, and only three tea bags, all herbal. i asked for more tea, specifically breakfast or earl grey, but was told they only had fruit and herbal teas. That was disappointing! also, the train noise was a significant issue. It was hard to sleep.
