    It’s a very new hotel, only 3 weeks old (which is roughly into service at the start of Easter holiday, last week of March,2024) Their “key” is a code sent to our email so we don’t need to worry the key will get missing. Love it. Just a 5...

    Clean rooms with iron box, iron table, hair dryer, washing bags, moisturizer, Nespresso Machines (with milk powder), and even conditioner. The staff at the concierge were extremely friendly and helpful.

    Great location, clean, very comfortable bed - good linen, bright room (big windows, we were on the 2nd floor at the front). Everything we needed; tea & coffee making, hair dryer, iron & board - if we'd needed it! :)
