the lift was out of order. walking up several flights of stairs to reach my room was tiring, especially after sightseeing all day. toiletries were not provided automatically, which i found inconvenient. i thought that this wasn't very eco friendly considering other actions were not friendly to the environment.

The building's history stood out to me. The manager, Chris, were really good too help me. I look forward to returning soon! The breakfast included was also a quick and easy way to start the day.

My room was right under the roof, so my partner bumped his head. We had a shower instead of a bath. I also expected soap, but it wasn't there until my last day. The pastry and bread were almost gone by the time I ate.
