spacious roomdisturb sign violationunacceptable intrusion
The staff were very cute. I was upgraded to a room. It had a roof terrace with very nice views. The room itself was spacious and clean.
Housekeepers did not acknowledge the 'do not disturb' sign. They knocked three times despite the light being on. On the third day, they entered while the 'do not disturb' sign was displayed and i was out of the room. This intrusion was unacceptable.

ignored signprivacy breach
The housekeeping was a problem. they ignored the 'do not disturb' sign on two separate days. On the third day, they entered the room directly even when the lights were on and we were out. it was like a breach of privacy, and i had hoped for better attention to detail. this definitely impacted my overall feeling about the hotel.

i really liked that the hotel was near the train station. it was less than a ten minute walk and that helped a lot with luggage. the staff was nice and accommodating too. the room had a rainfall shower and felt luxurious to me.
housekeepers didnt respect the do not disturb sign. they knocked several times even when the lights were on. they even came in without permission one day when we werent there.
