8. Common Complaints
While overwhelmingly positive, some minor criticisms have been noted. One guest mentioned that the breakfast "could be better" despite the general praise for the meal. Another found the minimalist and modern design of the bathroom, specifically the "loo, washbasin and shower," to be "a bit too way out." Additionally, one reviewer described the view from the hotel as "pretty, but not breathtaking." The restaurant's wine list, exclusively featuring the hotel's own wines, might also be seen as a limitation for some guests seeking a wider selection.
