The cosy bedroom came with a nespresso coffee maker and some homemade cookies. the room was beautifully decorated and included nice bed linen. drinks at the bar were reasonably priced. The barman was skilled at making espresso martinis.
The shower cubicle needed an update. The grouting had some black mould at the bottom.
