Nice bed and good location but the light switches were all messed up / mislabeled and it took us until the end of our trip to figure them out. Likewise the taps easily blasted us with cold or hot watrrq

We loved our stay. Staff were friendly and attentive. This place hasn’t changed…… although not as bright and shiny as 20 plus years ago it continues to be a timeless boutique hotel with an attention to detail that captures bespoke design.

Conveniently located, walk to bars and restaurants. Hotel room was clean but a little tired looking. Basic amenities, a little noisy, good for a short stay. Breakfast was excellent, made to order. Parking was easy and with a direct acceess to hotel. Got a free parking as a VIP Expedia member which was great. Staff was super courteous and professional. Everything as expected, recommend for a short stay.

Great location with safe parking. Just need a bit more direction on arrival on how to get into the hotel from the car park but once you work that out it is a great place for a short stay in the city.
