great touches in a lovely location

coffee machinevariety of milkscomfortable bedspecial touches
i found a coffee machine with different milks, teas, and treats and liked it a lot. water bottles by the bed were great after my flight. the bed felt very comfortable and the pillows were soft. i also liked special touches like that.
the hot water sometimes changed quickly from hot to really hot while i was washing. also, the room felt a bit crowded because of the furniture. it wasn't a big problem, just a small thing.

easy walknice treatpoor insulationmassive gap
the location suited me well. it was an easy walk to the gardens. the room had a welcome pack, a nice touch after a long day.. it included treats.
i found the sound insulation to be poor. i could hear the wind because of the single glazing. there was a massive gap under the door, so i heard everything in the hallway.

Not so delighted by beautiful room

bad insulationshower temperature
This room was named Beautiful King Room, but I think it needs improvements. The sound insulation was really bad. I could hear everything happening in the hallway and other rooms, so sleeping was difficult. the shower temperature was variable, so the water got too hot or cold. I was not so happy about this stay.
