What was the hotel decor style? As I walked in, I was impressed with the decor and look and feel of the place. I felt like I was in a 90’s Japanese dorama.
How quick and efficient was the hotel check-in? This was very good. Very efficient and the service was fantastic.
Did I feel genuinely welcomed by the hotel staff? I thought the staff were absolutely fantastic.
Wifi – was I told anything about it? Was there a charge? Wifi was complementary throughout the hotel.
First impressions – décor, size and wow factor? my garden view twin room 1062 was very 90’s, simple and cozy.
I hadn’t a welcome amenity and a note from the GM.
The bed was very comfortable. So comfortable, that on the last night I decided to go back to the room early after dinner and watch TV in bed, which I never do.
Tea and coffee-making facilities? Yes, including a coffee maker. I did not try it.
Free bottled water? No.
Power sockets in useful places – we have more and more devices and we know where we want them! By the bed, by the working area. Oh yes, I had plenty of sockets on my side of the bed.
The bathroom was very classic and smart – spacious and had everything we needed.
We had a bath tub (with a fantastic shower) and worked very well. I was able to operate without third-party help. It is not always the case.
Towels – yes, please! How many and how soft and lovely? Yes, plenty and very good.
Toiletries – own brand, super brand, baby ones or proper ones? I shall find out! The toiletries were from Esthe Royer, originally from Japan, the products are lovely. The shampoo was nice.
Amenity kit – We had everything we needed.
Hairdryer – is it a human one, or just something stuck to a wall that only makes noise? I did not use it, but it seemed proper.
Breakfast – we had a delicious breakfast with great choices.
Would I recommend it to my best friend? Absolutely.
Would I stay again? Without a doubt.
