Standard - limited comfort
This is a standard hotel - no comfort and not sure why a 4 star. 1 pillow each, teabags within paper that looked like they were shuffled around the rooms for a year and towels that have been hardened with over use and washing. This is a 3 star and there are better hotels in the city for the same price and some cases a lower price

Lots of restaurants around it. Bus station right across the river so walkable. Tour pickup around the corner. Hotel is a vintage hotel and had no air conditioning. Only one out of 5. I forgot to look closely for that when booking. Could not keep windows open once we went to bed as it was the street noise kept us awake. once we got to our floor we had to walk a distance including up 3-4 steps on our floor as it changed level 3 times. Just a warning for those not able to pick up your bags. Breakfast was good and quick. Servers in the buffet were very friendly. Front desk not so much. Out of 5 hotels on this trip it was our least favourite but location for what we were doing was perfect.

The hotel was lovely. The car park was in a convenient location, however, the parking was too small and tight spaces.

My husband and I stayed here for the first time but it won't be the last. I mentioned when I booked that it was my husband's birthday and when we got to the room, the hotel had put on a little cake selection and a lovely card. The room itself was clean and stylish, the bathroom was big and clean. The street the hotel is located on is full of bars, restaurants and shops. We loved it.
