Hotel Touring

At first sight this hotel seemed the ideal Boutique Hotel I had looked searched for and booked. However, unlike the reception and ground floor lounge areas, our 'superior' room was anything but 'superior'. It was bland lacking any of the colour, decoration, pictures or style which gave the reception area the Boutique Hotel feel - our room did not feel in anyway Boutique! The double bed was two singles pushed together with a significant gap between the mattresses and which we had to tie together with a bath robe belt to stop them moving apart! The room was small, with one chair at a table which you could not sit at and still be able to walk round the bed. In addition, the roof top terrace (which does have an excellent city view and would be a lovely place for residents to chill and relax) is now a Bar / Bistro in the evening. During the day it is open to residents to use, although does give the feeling of sitting in an empty or closed bar! In the evenings the Bar is open to non residents and whilst residents are welcome (if they can get a table) residents are also charged the minimum charge of 15 euro per person, per first drink. So as a resident, who may want to sit and relax after a long day sight seeing, that's 15 euro for even a soft drink! The Jacuzzi on the terrace is only used by residents, but it seems a little odd to use the Jacuzzi along side the others in the bar / bistro who have clearly clearly paid for an evening out! If your room is lucky to have your own balcony, you will also share the loud music being pumped from the Bistro. Very disappointed all round.
