Staff welcoming, however when kindly showed around the room, was not informed that the blinds do not fit flush to wall so there was a large gap that let street light in illuminating the room so disturbed sleep; there were however sleep mask in the bathroom with soap toothbrush etc why hidden and not next to the bed; more importantly if it was mentioned on room description that a sleep mask is provided to wear as blinds are not fit for purpose at over 200 euros for one night one wouldn’t have booked the room as unable to sleep wearing a sleep mask.
