Amazingly spacious room with a kettle and tea in the room. A lovely breakfast spread downstairs for a little bit of money. A nice and clean bathroom! And right across from the art museum and a short walk from the train station!
There weren’t any outlets right next to our beds but there were plenty on the opposite wall.

Great location, good quality accommodation and breakfasts.
Not so much didn’t like - nice that the bar was open quite late, but it was under-stocked in quality spirits, particularly whiskies.

Fantastic location, really elegant building. Modernised with boutique vibes. Very friendly staff at reception, easy check in, liked the wooden room key! Lovely reception and restaurant space. Breakfast was good.
We were in room 603. Bathroom was accessible, so low furnishings and seat in shower- looked like a hospital, and was dated. A bit disappointing. Room was small but well equipped and comfortable.

It’s a great place to stay, facilities and staff are great. Breakfast is also very good.
Unfortunately, I was unlucky and on my first night the boiler wasn’t working, so I had a cold shower, which wasn’t very pleasant. But other than that everything else was great.

The room was nice. Modern and comfy bed
Lack of mirrors or places to get ready, noisy at night and breakfast was relatively poor, ordered poached eggs and they was over done,
