    Really good Room and Cute Staff

    The staff were really good too, providing personalized recommendations and a travel card for free public transport. I found it a bit challenging to control the room's temperature effectively, which could be improved.

    rainfall shower
    quiet location
    modern design
    poor bedding

    The location sits conveniently near public transport, keeping city excursions easily accessible while was great.

    The room's layout could use a rethink. The glass wall between the bedroom and bathroom is oddly intimate-not ideal for everyone. Pillows are a bit too heavy and hard for my liking, which isn't what you want after a long day of galactic travel. Lack of USB charging ports in the room felt behind the times since it's a basic expectation for modern hotels.

    rainfall shower
    limited breakfast variety

    The rainfall shower was a fantastic way to unwind after a long day.

    The breakfast options were quite limited and could use more variety.

    spacious room
    efficient air-conditioning
    big rain shower
    glass bathroom wall
    limited natural light

    The Luxe Double Room was spacious and comfortable. Loved the efficient air-conditioning, especially during the hot days. The big rain shower was amazing-just what I needed! But the bathroom's glass wall design was a bit awkward for privacy. The room was very clean and had great amenities, but a bit more light would have been nice.
