"Nice hotel and great central location. Lobby restaurant/café/bar great! My room was tastefully renovated and decorated but small. Perfect for a solo traveller travelling on business (which was my case) but would have been cramped/small for a couple on vacation."

"Staff were excellent and location is ideal, especially if you are arriving by train. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating is because I couldn’t get a late check out. However the hotel was very good about keeping our bags. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again."
