Trouble13, May 2025
Pros (+) Room looked exactly like advertised. We were met swiftly with a porter to take our luggage to reception and to our room. He also offered me a rose (nice touch) and explained all the switches of the room. Breakfast was more then sufficient and staff all around was very friendly The Glass doors to close off the bath looked super cool
Cons (-) Seems that our air conditioner did not work as we could not cool the room. The frame of the bed showed wear and tear and management might like to look at replacing them. The Bistro could have offered the option of a Beef Filet which was not on offer - not everyone enjoys a 7-course fine dining at the evening.
