a stay with some drawbacks

friendly staff really good location poor breakfast limited view
the location was really good. it was very close to the city center (a short walk, really). the staff were attentive and friendly, especially harry and sergio. i enjoyed their service.
The room i had looked directly into the carpark. The view was not great. the breakfast was also a letdown. I found it rather tasteless.

stale croissants limited variety
the room was a bit small. i booked a beautiful double room, yet it felt more like a standard single. also, the breakfast buffet options seemed limited for such a pricey hotel. i was expecting more variety, especially in the pastry selection. the croissants tasted stale, the fruit was not fresh.

An average stay. Some issues with service

cold food newspaper issue
The service could have been better for what you pay. i asked for a newspaper, it arrived late and without the magazine insert. breakfast felt rushed, my cooked food was cold. i did not get a second cup of coffee. A bit of a let down.
