The room size was adequate for our needs and featured a balcony overlooking the bridge. The staff was helpful when we requested additional pillows for the bed. Breakfast vouchers were provided for the downstairs restaurant. (I enjoyed the fresh croissants and coffee.)
The shower was quite small, and turning around inside it proved a little challenging.

The receptionist was amazing. She was very sweet and helpful. she took my picture when i was looking out from my balcony. i had an excellent room with amazing views of chapel bridge.
i knew the room was going to be pretty small, but it was even more so. very small square footage was mentioned in the listing. the bathroom itself was very tiny, and i found it difficult to put my things.
