We had a wonderful time at this hotel! The room was exceptional and the breakfast was fantastic! The location is perfect! There were just a couple of smaller problems such as empty shampoo bottle in shower and very small beds. Also, the staff is efficient and helpful but not friendly or welcoming.

It was a nice hotel in a quiet area. It was a block away from the bus from the airport. I felt the breakfast was a bit steep but we got it for the convenience.

The layout of the hotel is rather unconventional (getting to our room involved some stairs, 2 different lifts and a bit of a walk!) but our room was spacious and comfortable, with the slight caveat that our shower was terrible. It severely lacked power and the rainfall shower head didn’t work at all. For two women with long hair this wasn’t ideal and for that reason I am glad we only stayed for 2 nights.
We found the location of the hotel very convenient, quiet and safe. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that. There was free tea, coffee and hot chocolate available between 11am and 9pm.
