So this was a great hotel, staff were excellent and positioned about 4 stops from the main train station. The room had alot of room and the bed was massive. Our only problem was it had that typical bathroom door were you can see everything going on inside, plugs no where near the bed and the main lights not being that bright. Overall great hotel to set up base in.

Had a very comfortable stay. Quiet and clean. The family room was 2 ajoined rooms and I appreciated that there were separate beds for my kids. Only problem was the walk in shower didn't drain well and flooded the bathroom and hall after less than 5 minutes. Apprently this is a common problem and the staff just gave us extra towels to clean up the water that overflowed.

Great if you get the right room

This hotel was absolutely wonderful - if you get the right room. First I got a room in the basement which was awful, but I asked to switch and got a beautiful room with amazing view. The hotel all in all is great, but it's a bit strange they had the same price for such different rooms. The ones in the basement should be half price.
