As quoted from the last review by Michael F, “Sonia is the manager who is on site every day, and she was intimately involved with our visit from beginning to end. She was our first contact and patiently and very promptly answered all our questions in perfect English. She was also happy to in put up with our terrible Italian. She was invaluable in helping us decide which of the various accommodations would best suit our group, so that in the end, our choice was perfect. Sonia made many terrific suggestions, which enhanced our visit immeasurably.”

The receptionist was also great and helped us pinpoint the perfect restaurant for our last night in Italy (and she succeeded).” This shows how the staff served without any condition.
One of the interview from student in RP, I asked JiaLing about her views on The Yard, she said that hotel gave her "a sense of home because it is decorated like a house". "I'll feel at home." She said. It gave her a sense of belonging after viewing the photographs. She also mentioned that the interior design of the hotel is very classy and modernised with furniture of good quality. She thinks that the targeted market for The Yard are more suitable for people who are into sports. She also mentioned that after viewing the photographs, she feel like visiting The Yard.
