tender memories in a cosy space

polite staffgreat locationearly noise
The staff were so kind and polite. Every request i made was immediately adhered to. a coat hanger stood ready, proving a very big plus considering i traveled in the winter season. The location boasts great restaurants nearby. grocery stores sit right in front of the building. The metro is just a short walk away.
the room was not cleaned to perfection, and i noticed some early noises of cleaning above, which disturbed the peace a bit.

Excellent Stay Near the Metro

cozy museumreally good helpfulnessrelaxing patioquiet stay
The hotel's decor is noteworthy. I found it both beautiful and inviting. Shames, the receptionist, stood out with really good helpfulness and charm. He assisted with my room and readily fulfilled my requests (it was really helpful). There's a game room which opens to an outdoor patio, I enjoyed it a lot. I was able to relax and read.
The breakfast selection was somewhat limited. I noticed that the options remained the same throughout my stay. I believe a bit more variety could enhance this offering.

minor cleanliness issues experienced

rusty kettleclogged sink
The kettle in the room was rusty and old. i certainly could not use it. the sink also had some issues as it was clogged and drained very slowly. housekeeping needs improvement. The floor wasn't swept, and i found hair. i would expect much better cleanliness.
