Lovely clean room and the hot drinks were replenished often, we never ran out. Very helpful manager who let us in and gave us codes which were sent to whatsapp. Unfortunately, I had not updated my number with Booking.com so I never received them, totally my fault, but the codes by email as well as/ instead of WhatsApp should be considered.
