Our stay in the Market Urban Hotel was absolutely amazing. It's a 5-10 minute walk from the train station and is a perfect starting point for going around the city. The surrounds get quite busy though so be prepared to dodge your way through the foot traffic. It's a small hotel so we were quite surprised by the good size of our room. The breakfast spread was adequate but what it lacked in choices was made up for by the amazing service! Special mention to the kitchen and dining staff: Jessica, Nika, Jem and Carla...there were no pan-de-sals but they made us feel at home!
