breakfast offered a broad selection including fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes, though getting to the breakfast area in the adjacent building required a short walk. i saw that the restaurants had diverse menus with options for various dietary needs. food was of high quality.

the location was acceptable as it was close to various dining options.
The staff attitude was poor. I found them unhelpful. the minibar did not cool properly. warm water was the only option during my entire stay. also, the cleaning staff moved my personal belongings too much.

superb luxury stay
modern roomsimmaculate roomhelpful staffsmall label
I found the gym had enough equipment. rooms are modern and the cleaners were some of the best. Our room was immaculate and very cute. poppy at the front desk was really good, i think she should be replicated with the other staff. all staff were helpful.
the button labels for lights and curtains are small. i found them hard to read, so a remote for these would improve convenience. toilet space lacked an inbuilt fan, impacting ventilation.

The jewel suite was spacious and presented beautifully. The room had a relaxing feel! the bathroom was huge. the bed was also very big. space was generous, however, we didn't utilise much of it.
