The hotel's service and atmosphere were both good, but it was inevitable that it had aged over time.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very pleasant. We were a little disappointed with the room - fridge, kettle, cups and one teaspoon provided but no detergent or cloths to clean them. The bathroom was compact, as was the bedroom (maybe remove the 2 large chairs and replace them with something that takes less room?).

The room was clean and well-maintained, but it could benefit from better soundproofing, as noise from guests walking above was quite noticeable. Additionally, the rooms are on the smaller side, and while the lovely windows offer nice natural light, they lack privacy since passersby can easily see inside. Installing sheer curtains could enhance privacy without sacrificing the view.

It's the second time we've stayed here, 12 months apart. Everything seemed the same and was fine except for the restaurant which seemed to not be as good as it was a year ago.
