Reviews and Ratings
I had the best night's sleep in years at this hotel for single person occupancy. The room had a shower, not a bath, and surprisingly quiet despite being in a bustling area with bus stops and restaurants below. A great place to stay if you're looking for peace and comfort.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the views from the room were excellent, it was a bit small and noisy due to nearby machinery early in the morning. However, I found the bathroom to be really lovely. The staff were professional and friendly, which made up for some shortcomings in other areas.
The hotel was amazing, with spacious and beautifully furnished rooms offering a stunning view of the cathedral. The reception staff was attentive and accommodating, although there was a mix-up with our room assignment. The location is fantastic, being close to the train station and surrounded by plenty of dining and shopping options.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were beautiful, extremely clean, and I had the best sleep. The service was top-notch with well-decorated spaces and superb staff. The location was brilliant, very central to the city center with great nearby options for food and drink. Although the dining experience was disappointing, the overall value for money was good.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although small and not perfectly set up for two people, were comfortable and stylish. The noise on the 5th floor was a bit bothersome. The service was friendly overall, but not consistently professional. The location was ideal with great dining options nearby, but the dining experience itself left something to be desired. The facilities were adequate, but not exceptional.
The hotel was surprisingly quiet and comfortable, making it a definite choice for future stays. The rooms were clean, attractive, and comfortable; however, some areas could use a refresh due to the threadbare carpet. The service was a mixed bag, with unobtrusively attentive staff in the bar but slow service in the dining area. The location, although enjoyable with nearby bars and restaurants, lacked adequate storage space for heavy winter coats. The dining experience, especially at breakfast, fell short of expectations in terms of variety and portion size.
