Some Issues Noted During the Stay

small room unstable temperature
I stayed in the Standard Double Room. The room felt quite small. Moving around with luggage proved a little difficult. The view from the window was not appealing, facing what seemed like a utility area. I also noticed the shower temperature fluctuated (it was either too hot or not warm enough), so maintaining a comfortable shower was challenging.

Decent Stay

sweet touch many options cramped room double room
The breakfast includes many options. The lady running the hotel was cute. Tea, coffee, biscuits, and sweets were complimentary. These were a lovely touch.
Our room was not really suitable as a double. It was very cramped. It was almost impossible for two people to move around in.
