The rooms smelled every time we walked in. Recommend an air freshner in the room. The temperature was too hot even with the central heat turned off and window open. Consider a fan. Finally, the room was a bit dry as well, consider a humidifier

Bathroom and shower literally in the room next to your bed and separated only by a glass doors. No privacy what so ever. When you take a shower water is going straight to the room next to your bed. Big window looking into..... closed space with a fire stairs. But they have a coffee Nespresso machine in the room and breakfast has choices that cooked for you.
