fire exit overhead shower
The staff were very professional.
My room was the fire exit, so besides the fire exit door in the room there was also a green fire exit sign. It was lit all night. The roof dome lit the room up at daybreak. I suggest they find a way to close the dome with an automatic blind. The bathroom had a jacuzzi bath with an overhead shower, but the bath was very high to step into.

location good, some issues

small room uninterested staff
The room i had, a character double room, was quite small. moving around was a bit difficult with the furniture arrangement. also, the bouncer outside constantly asked if i was a resident each time i returned. It became quite tiresome. The staff didn't seem too interested in any concerns i had during checkout.

The building room had a minster view. This was quite nice. a proper key opened the door. I liked that detail. the room included a coffee machine and a fridge, so i had no issues storing my beverages.
The bread given to us upon arrival was mouldy. It was not appealing.
