convenient take-awaybeautiful breakfast roompractical yoga mat
The room had a yoga mat, which i appreciated. The breakfast room was beautiful, a real treat to start the day. I found the hotel operated a vegetarian take-away with vegan options at lunch (very convenient).
The staff at the restaurant were not the most friendly.
