Nothing!

Cons:

The shower head was split on the handle and resulted in a horizontal spray of water when in use.
The room was provided with one mug and one teacup for a 2 person stay.

Overall, it was a really good stay.
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at The Sebel. The property was very comfortable, and they allow pets inside, which is a big plus.

Cons:

No parking, but there are nearby parking areas — you just need to walk. Also, I booked on booking.com which includes pet, but the reception doesn’t know about it, this should link on their system as I selected the option with pet. The customer sometimes might forget to mention if they have pet (although my pet was there the time we checked in), reception should ask and confirm as they are a pet friendly hotel, they should be the one checking this with the customer to ensure not vise versa (reception told me that I should let them know, should they are the one confirming this with the customer). Other than that, it is a very good stay!
