decent stay overall

beautiful buildingconvenient locationfresh milkno assistancelimited availabilitybreakfast limitations
the building had character and a beautiful design. the location proved convenient, providing easy access to nearby attractions. they offered fresh milk for tea and coffee, which i found particularly nice (i appreciate the little things).
The staff finished work at 6 pm, leaving no one available for assistance. i found this unusual, especially since i couldn't sterilise bottles. breakfast options were quite limited. Only porridge or a full breakfast were available.
