Refined Comfort and Really good Service

amazing choices outdoor terrace
I enjoyed a three-night stay. Breakfast offered amazing choices and high quality. The outdoor terrace provided a lovely spot for an apéritif.. The gym offered a clean and well-equipped space for workouts.
The check-in felt impersonal, though the staff handled it professionally, it lacked the warm welcome I anticipated. A warmer initial greeting would have enhanced the experience.

The Beautiful King Room included supremely comfortable beds and well-designed bathrooms. The provided soundproofing allowed for undisturbed rest despite facing a busy street. The room also featured modern amenities with great attention to detail.

my room included a desk and a comfortable chair , good for catching up on correspondence. the bathroom had heated towel rails , a feature i always appreciate. i found the blackout curtains effective , ensuring a good night's sleep.
the room service menu felt limited , without many choices i liked. i noticed some wear and tear on the furniture in the room , the desk had a noticeable scratch. the noise from the street was occasionally audible , despite the double glazing.
