The staff was excellent and helped us to get our luggage transferred to our next hotel. The food and drink options at the cafe are excellent. The hotel itself is also quiet and has a nice communal kitchen and dining area. Overall, a great stay in a quiet area.

We enjoyed our stay. Love the beautiful design of this place. The beds were comfortable. Quiet location, but a bit far from train station. We used the bus instead which was convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel provided welcome drinks. Thank you for the free self service drip coffee and board games in the communal kitchen that we enjoyed as a family.
