The stairway and the 3rd floor - room 303 - should get a refresh: looks a bit too shabby for the hotel's class

The room, the bathroom. Everything just looked a bit crappy, run down (i.e. crooked lamps, cheap ikea like furniture, see-through bathroom walls and door...). The room was right next to a busy street, it was noisy. And the curtains didn't close well enough to darken the room.

Poor basic room & bathroom amenities. All heater were broken. I came from tropical country doing 3 days business trip so it was very unpleasantly cold.
It was the nearest hotel to my business place. The Park (but very busy during weekend).

Was a bit disappointed overall. Would expect more from a 4 star hotel. Issues: - mini bar was quite smelly when we came in and had to request to get it cleaned - on first day, room wasn’t cleaned during the cleaning window mentioned - at checkout, hotel wasn’t able to provide receipt, promised to send it by mail and still haven’t sent it (even after writing them in the app)
Really nice hotel and location with great restaurant

If I’m being really picky the beds were way to soft for me, but I was just there for a long weekend so was able to manage.
The staff were super friendly and helpful! The hotel is in a lovely location and easily accessible to public transport.
