    Location was great, a quiet little neighbourhood but still close to everything. Room was big enough for both of us and our suitcases, beds were the most comfortable hotel beds ever. Breakfast was ok but in a city full of bakeries, not needed....

    Location was central and close to our friends. The location has amazing amenities including the 24/7 coffee/tea station and the breakfast. I loved the warm bathroom floor, the shower, and the robe service. The safe in the room is great too!
