Overall a good stay. Could not adjust the room temperature, room was too hot. Quite noisy at night outside so could not leave the window open either. Staff was very nice, bed was comfortable. Great location close to train station and walkable to many restaurants and shops.

This hotel was lovely! Despite being in a busy area, it was very quiet. Staff was very friendly, allowed us to check in early which was a lifesaver from a long flight

Great boutique style hotel close to main train station - 5 mins walk. Modern and clean. Only problem we had was previous guest in our room was smoking and we could smell the smoke as soon as we entered. Staff were happy to change our room but they were full so they put a machine in our room to clean the air and we went and had dinner and when we returned, the room was clear of smoke. We would happily stay here again.
