The shower screen is dirty, water is too small. I requested no corner room but I got corner room in the end. That's fine. But the air-con is so poor. I set air-con mode with 19°C but it keep go to heater mode by itself!

We lost an airpod in the room. We call them and email them, but no one answer.
17.08.2025 Guest
Great service and facilities. Clean and tidy. Pricing on in-house menu was a bit much for the serving size but food was lovely.
All in all a nice stay.
