Room Summary:
Check-in was efficient and I was offered a welcome glass of sparkling wine.
The room is a small but luxurious, well appointed design. There were TWO good-sized wardrobes complete with robes and scale, a coffee station with a pod-style coffee machine, safe, mini-bar with typical over-priced beverages (5EUR for a coke)
There was a small safe that could fit a laptop, complete with a power socket inside to charge any electronics.
A small wall desk with Euro-style plugs and a wall-mounted TV completed the wall setup.
Next to the comfortable king bed were power sockets and USB sockets (which were thankfully 5V 3.0A) on both sides of the bed as well as a VOIP phone. Controls allowed for lighting mood control as well as electronic operation of the curtains. There was a couch / daybed next to the bed suitable for lounging around and long enough to take a nap if needed.
The bathroom was well appointed and the materials felt luxurious. The stand-up shower was fitted with Phytomer products.
In the morning I checked out the balcony which was surprisingly spacious and could easily fit 4 on a small couch and two chairs.
Breakfast was included as part of my Marriott platinum status and consisted of a spread of vegetables, cheese, cold cuts as well as an ala carte selection of eggs, omelette, eggs benedict or pancakes with fresh fruit. Overall quite nice and in a nicely appointed and luxurious space. I do wish they had a bit more choice though, and perhaps a lox option for the eggs benedict.
Final Thoughts:
The room is luxurious and comfortable, the surrounding neighborhood is conveniently walkable, overall had an enjoyable stay at the Monasty. Also this was in the middle of winter and it was so enjoyable to walk in a nice, toasty-warm hotel room.
