Great location close to the rail station and the cathedral
Very expensive (€37 for two Aperol Spritz) and only a portable air conditioner in our room which was so noisy we had to turn it off

Room was very nice (a suite with windows opening to a view of the cathedral). Staff were friendly and helpful - everything you'd expect from a top end, city centre hotel. Plenty of good restaurants and bars locally.
The hotel didn't fail us at all - excellent.

Great location right next to the cathedral and within short walking distance to the Philharmonie, and many other sights
I wish the hotel was a bit more environmentally friendly by using LED lights. Policy of alternate days of towel changes is great but not practised until we reminded them
