Breakfast tea options could be improved presentation wise in a nice wooden box. Also would be good to clean tables quicker to provide more options where to seat during breakfast.

Good location but the hotel itself is in a really poor condition. Rooms and general hotel need renovating drastically to warrant the 4 stars as it’s not like the service is 4 star either. Disappointing for the price paid.
