Wonderful Retreat

I found the breakfast offered great variety, including delicious fresh pastries.. the automatic juice machine with fresh orange juice was a good touch. The metro station was a short walk away, very convenient for city exploration. I particularly enjoyed the nearby riverfront, a romantic spot for evening strolls. The hotel's filtered water tap in the room was also a plus.

The room I had did not perfectly match the description shown, and I was expecting a slightly different view.

The room was very clean (I really appreciated that). The drinking water feature in the bathroom was also a plus. I appreciated its location close to restaurants and public transport. I was able to check in early, greatly appreciated after a long flight.

The bed was not very comfortable. The pillows were also awful, despite them offering both soft and firm options. There was not a lot of storage space in the room at all, and I had to keep my clothes in my suitcase. A lot of space in the room was wasted. I think it could have been used better.
