    A Unique Stay with Room for Improvement

    We appreciated the spacious room with a comfortable bed and well-stocked mini bar. The staff were friendly, but navigating the hotel was tricky. I'd recommend asking for clearer directions upon check-in to avoid confusion. Breakfast options outside the hotel are plentiful and much better.

    I enjoyed a peaceful stay in a well-equipped suite, complemented by prompt room service. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. the room was quite far from the reception, and the bathroom evacuation system was noisy, which affected the overall comfort.

    The Glasshouse offers an elegant atmosphere complemented by friendly and efficient staff. My suite provided breathtaking views of the garden terrace and was well-appointed with all necessary amenities. The room service was prompt and the food delicious, contributing positively to my work trip.

    The evacuation system in the bathroom was quite noisy.

    minor room maintenance

    great stay but minor details need attention

    The room overlooking Picardy Place was a highlight of our stay. The hot breakfast cooked to order was impressive, especially when paired with the complimentary Malt in our suite.

    A few minor issues needed to be resolved.

    limiting shower
    disorganized service

    Spacious rooms with large, comfortable beds and a well-stocked fridge, enhanced by friendly staff who exceeded expectations. The pleasant snug bar offered a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. some rooms can be noisy, and a shower only can be limiting. Breakfast service felt disorganized despite the abundance of staff.

    comfy rooms
    tricky parking

    Had a fantastic stay with friends! We explored the nearby Playhouse and enjoyed the cozy bars in town. The service was stellar, the rooms were big and comfy, and the staff were super helpful. Tip , definitely ask about the local recommendations, they know all the best spots!

    Only downside was the parking situation. it was a bit tricky to find. There’s no space to drop off your things right outside.
