“Fine for a short stay”

The staff in the restaurant for breakfast did not provide very good service. There was not enough cutlery for all of the guests and the tables took a while to get cleaned. Personally, I'm not a fan of the staff collating all the dirty cutlery in several trays in the middle of the restaurant. It kind of ruins the ambiance...
The design of the common spaces is modern and trendy. Good location.

- Poor equipped rooms: no bathrobes or slippers, empty and non-functioning minibar, no hangers, etc. - On a kingsize bed (of poor quality) we had 2 very thin one-person duvet covers instead of one big thick one, - Only the name of the hotel is ‘design’, for the rest there’s nothing design about it.
- Breakfast is very good with broad choice of cheese, cold cuts, bread, eggs, etc. All of excellent quality. Outstanding coffee, - Nespresso machine in the room, - Very well located near the centre and easily reachable for those who come by car.

The bathroom definitely needs a door!! The pillows (either too hard or too soft) broke my neck. No blinds so couldn't really sleep in.
Staff were really helpful and facilities clean and adequate. Great restaurant though no real bar area. Car park close by and great breakfast.

“It’s fine”
- • Business trip

The design of the DesignHotel is nice but sometimes questionable. E.g. the bathroom facilities: the glass screen is less than a half of the tub and there is no place for a hair dryer. I couldn’t find any stand for my bag and the table was not suitable for a laptop.
