Excellent stay in the city center

I had a studio room with great features and very high ceilings. The kitchenette was useful and well equipped. The reception staff were helpful before arrival and they were also helpful when I left. Fresh milk and also orange juice were in the hotel fridge. It was a signature cute treat. The room itself is beautiful and it had everything I needed.
The towels was thin and rough, it was a little annoying.

limited channelsbreakfast variety
The tv had limited channels. I couldn't find much to watch. the breakfast box was not quite as excellent as I expected. The variety was a little lacking. The fresh bread delivered each morning was a nice touch, BUT the rest of the contents felt somewhat repetitive after a few days.
