Paid double the price of a regular hotel, so that was of course always at the back of my mind during our stay.
So, we were put on the ground floor where people on the street can look in. Made worse by the fact that they tried to upsell one of the upstairs rooms that cost even more, highlighting the fact that the extravagant price we had already paid wasn't enough to secure a decent room.
There was no on-site staff so if you needed anything you had to call a number and go through a menu to get through to someone off-site who may or may not be available to deal with you at that time.
We had to say the exact time we were arriving even though journey conditions and social arrangements meant we weren't sure, so we ended up waiting outside in the cold trying to get through to the staff.
Then we were told that the breakfast time had to be set in advance so we had to be 100% sure on the time we want to eat even though we don't know how we're going to feel the next morning, once again leaving us with no flexibility. The food itself was nice, well presented. Small portions, but that suits us.
The shower was a mist thing where only the water at the center got warmer while the outside was always cold. The fit an finish of the room was to a good standard and there was a big TV which might be of interest to some. Bed was comfortable.
Overall, we got a better breakfast than a standard hotel, but much less flexibility and a worse shower at double the price. Not worth it for us.
