What guests report

View

No consistent information about views; some rooms described as having nice views (top floor), but largely unmentioned

Bed & mattress

Super comfortable, high-quality linens, king-size options praised; some guests would have preferred different bed configurations

Bathroom & water

Large, spacious bathrooms with powerful showers; tile floors noted as slippery when wet; some standard rooms have bath-only with no separate shower; hot water reliable

Wi-Fi

Very fast and reliable, adequate for video calls and online meetings

Breakfast

Generous, good quality with fresh eggs and pancakes on request; though modest for 4-star category and limited variety across multiple nights; worth exploring local options

AC / heating

Excellent cooling performance; one issue reported where AC could not be easily switched off, leaving guest cold and unable to adjust temperature

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

If booking a Deluxe room, verify room size and floor location before arrival, as 3rd floor rooms may be significantly smaller than 2nd floor equivalents

Request room key card to be left in door during sleep if AC control is problematic—avoids leaving room in darkness

Standard double rooms may have bath-only with no shower; confirm room type and bathroom setup before booking if shower is essential
