street noiseinconvenient layout
The room i had was not well soundproofed. I could clearly hear street noise throughout the night. this made sleeping difficult, especially with early morning deliveries and pedestrian traffic. the bathroom layout was also impractical. The placement of the towel rack was too far from the shower. the lack of easily accessible power outlets near the bed was frustrating for charging my devices.

the hotel is very beautiful with rooms designed to a high standard. i found my room to be quiet and comfortable. the tasting menu i had in the restaurant one evening was fantastic. the sauna and pool were fun and clean.
taking a shower was a bit difficult because there was no shower screen, wetting the entire bathroom. i also noticed there was no wall holder for soap.
