This hotel is in a convenient location with good, quiet rooms and the staff are attentive. Although we had booked a superior double, we were upgraded to a luxury suite with fabulous views.

Good room in a location convenient to the train terminal and the various tourist sites in the area. Free internet!

Unable to do our own ironing. The hotel only uses one tour company which is not necessarily the best company...

The pool on the roof - with great views, bar and complimentary nibbles, extensive breakfast buffet, generous size of room (family suite with two bedrooms and two bathrooms), location very convenient for main sights and shopping but quite quiet.

Not the hotel's fault obviously but the Square outside was under development - but quiet as builders were on holiday!

Superb location with access to both the city and the station, nice environment, beautiful view.

Very noisy hotel with poor isolation, the hotel has become too big for the facilities they offer, no hospitality, staff is not professional: they don't treat the guests with kindness and will to serve.

Location is very close to train station and city center. Breakfast is excellent and has both hot and cold food - large selection. Pool is small but nice to cool off on a hot day. Internet connection and terminal was free.

A little expensive, but I was glad to choose the hotel overall.
