Excellent Boutique Stay
ample choice mineral water side access
I enjoyed the included breakfast. It was simple but provided plenty of choices. My room came with complimentary mineral water bottles. I also appreciated the convenient side access for late night entries.
The road outside was busy. This made it noisy during the night. It woke me up.

A Mixed Stay. Some Issues Noted.
noisy location small bed
The location proved problematic. The busy main road and nearby flight path made it noisy. It woke me up several times during the night, a disruption I wasn't expecting. I also found the bed in my room too small for two adults, something the listing should mention more clearly.

minimalist breakfast staff engagement
The room was very large for such price. It included 'Ritual' Toiletries.
I found the breakfast rather minimal. It lacked English breakfast items. I also found a general lack of warmth and engagement from the staff. I would have preferred a more cute atmosphere.
