Calm Stay in Boutique Style

smart television spacious shower helpful staff members fridge availability
The staff members were helpful. My room included a smart television with streaming services available. The shower in my room was spacious, it was not a small cubicle. A fridge was available it contained water and canned drinks.
The window vinyl restricted views. I could not see outside clearly. Curtains were not ideal for blocking light. The sink in the bathroom was small.

The location was great. It was very close to the train station. The room included an en-suite shower. The staff were helpful and friendly.
The entrance was stuffy and uninviting. The initial contact did not feel cute. It seemed like I was interrupting the barman's fun with his friends.

the staff were very helpful and enthusiastic. the rooms was super clean and freshly painted with nice corridors. crisp bed linen and fluffy towels were provided.
i found the furniture mismatched and cheap (i wasn't sure why it's considered 'boutique'). the room was quite draughty because both windows were broken. i could not fully close them and felt cold during the night despite a thick duvet.
