Gāuāeāsātā āUāsāeār

I have previously stayed at Art BB, 4 times over the course of 2021/22 under its previous management, as I LOVED the hotel. I was very pleased to see it has reopened. I stayed on the night of Thursday 18th July and booked a suite on the 2nd floor with sea view. On checking in, the staff were very friendly and the previous bar room was being set up as a new cafe. The lady on reception stated the cafĆ© was to open in the few days (it actually opened the following day). The room was brilliant, and the hotel is exactly as I remembered it from 2021/ 22. The only criticism of the room was, the room has a projector, and pull down screen, but no smart TV. A collection of dvds were supplied in room, but Id rather of had a smart TV option to watch on the pull down screen, such as Netflix's or Youtube. The carpet also had a stain which needs to be removed. Had a great nights sleep and enjoying using the bar in the room. Bathroom was brilliant and spotless clean. Room and bathroom are luxurious. On checking out the next day, the cafĆ© had opened, and a sign was placed outside, advertising this cafe for walk-ins. The menu appears to be mainly cakes and coffees, and I think space is sub-let to a 3rd party. The hotel makes it clear it doesnāt serve breakfast. I think the hotel should offer guests a morning complimentary coffee and croissant (or similar) within the ground floor cafĆ©, included into the price of the room. (I was offered a coffee when I checked in). I think there missing a trick not doing this at breakfast time as it would attract more guests, with minimal cost. I'm not suggesting they offer a full cooked breakfast, but some form of continental breakfast offer would be good. Itās also a pity this space is not used as a bar in the evening as it was previously. I have booked to stay again in October and hope a continental breakfast is offered by then.
