stylish stay

beautiful room convenient location attentive staff
i stayed in a beautiful room with fantastic views. the location was very convenient, close to everything i wanted. the staff was attentive and professional (. breakfast in the huxley was delicious.
The lift was small, and the glass casing was dirty. It didn't give a cute first impression.

a balanced stay

my colleagues were knowledgeable about the city. the room had cleanliness, i saw it was well kept.
I found small cups for coffee in the room. I would have preferred a mug. the breakfast seemed not worth the money. I should have skipped it.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

small cups hard bed
The room included a good selection of TV channels.
The cups provided for coffee in the room were too small. I wish I had brought my own mug. I also found the bed to be too firm, and the pillows were much too soft for my preference.

underwhelming stay with several issues

old tv bad sofa placement
The room was not great. the tv was ancient without smart tv functions and too small for the room size. the sofa placement was bad. It should have been in front of the tv or replaced with a dining table. it seems a lot of things where old and needed an update.
