Lovely Stay at Modern Hotel

clean roomexcellent breakfastamazing sceneryequipped gym
My room was well-proportioned and clean. The breakfast offered sufficient choice including gluten-free options. The view from the restaurant provided amazing scenery. I found the gym quite well equipped for a routine workout.
The bar menu was a bit limited plus expensive. That was not very convenient.

breakfast buffetslow servicelong wait
The breakfast buffet had a chef cooking food. It was nice seeing that.
I wanted lunch at the ground floor kitchen, but the service was SLOW. I waited 45 minutes for a sandwich and then another 5 minutes for cutlery. I cancelled the order because I ran out of time to eat and had to leave.

mixed experience, some service shortfalls

sticky surfacesdisorganized staff
the rooftop bar was quite disappointing. dirty glasses were piled up everywhere. the surfaces felt sticky, it did not seem inviting, so we only stayed for one drink. also, during dinner, staff seemed disorganized, and it was difficult to get their attention. we would have spent more money on drinks and desserts if service had been more attentive.

the bathroom presented some issues it featured a glass obscured wall to the bedroom. this meant using the toilet at night required choosing between total darkness or disturbing my partner with light. the shower head was fixed and the soap tray was broken. these details significantly detracted from the overall quality expected at this price point. the lack of attention to detail affected the stay.
