Decent breakfast, nice spa, good location and good rooms. Great value, especially relative to some of the overpriced options around.

Hotel Nine
Clean room Amenities limited, but location is very good. The breakfast time frame of 2 hours is a bit short. Perhaps you target on business travellers, but 7 to 9 is not enough for tourists.
