"The room was generally clean and comfortable. However, I noticed there was quite a lot of dust under the bed, so this area could use a little more attention during cleaning. The breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed having it delivered right to our door. One small issue was that the bathroom only had body wash and no shampoo. Overall, we had a great stay. We also tried to purchase some snacks downstairs, but unfortunately, we were unable to pay as the Revolut payment link showed a message saying it was not valid for our country."
