coffee stationmissing cupsuncomfortable room
the coffee and tea station on each floor was a welcome addition, though the cups were often missing.
The room lacked an armchair, and this made relaxing after work difficult. I prefer not to immediately go to bed. the absence of a comfortable seating option really detracted from the room despite other good qualities.

The room felt stylish. It was very spacious. The huge windows overlooked the pretty interior courtyard (it really was like a romantic getaway). The fixtures were high quality. The entire suite was everything was super clean.
I found that the hotel lacked an armed chair. The absence of a small couch to sit down at the end of the day was a real let down. It made the room uncomfortable.

the breakfast was amazing with fresh baked bread. having coffee and tea on every floor was a very nice touch. i was also able to use the public transport for free, this came with my stay and it was super handy.
i really wanted to love everything, but there wasnt an armed chair in the room. i really wanted a small couch to sit down at the end of the day. the menu was limited, so i am not sure i would frequent the hotel restaurant again.
