Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very clean, and the service was excellent. My room was cleaned and thoughtfully reorganized every day. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and friendly throughout my stay. They even gave me a gift at check-out, which was a lovely surprise — and that’s not even mentioning the welcome gift at check-in, a pack of masks that I found very thoughtful. The room had everything I needed, making my stay very comfortable. The hotel’s location is also fantastic, with many great bakeries, restaurants, and bars nearby.
