Disssapointed I couldn’t get a vat reciept because I booked via Booking.com not great when your on a business trip.
Pros:

Great location I’ve stayed hear a few times.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that because I booked via booking.com they would not give me a vat receipt the next morning which you need when you’re on business so I won’t be staying again.
