Good priced,well-run hotel in great location. Happy stay.
Pros:

Food was good, fresh,and nice selection.
Location very good for walking, but also near to stop for big bus tour. Hop on hop off useful to get to sights and museums/galleries. The staff were polite, kind and very helpful.

Cons:

Room very small and stairs difficult. As I am reluctant to use tiny lift I found this quite hard....but I like the hotel very much.

Great hotel with excellent staff. Location is perfect
Pros:

The location is perfect. Metro stop just around the corner.  Hotel was clean and staff were very friendly.  I would recommend staying here.

Cons:

I honestly don't have any negatives about this hotel. If I had to think of something we booked a comfort room which was rather small but the kind man on reception offered us an upgrade for our second night into one of the rooms on the 5th floow which had a balconey.

Was made to feel welcome and really enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Location of the hotel was perfect, close to everything. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. The breakfast had plenty of options, even for a vegan. The lady who took care of the breakfast went out of her way to accommodate our needs. Good quality coffee was available at all times which is a must for me.

Cons:

The thermostat in the room could have been fitted in an area that did not shine a light in the room at night, I had to put something over it in able to sleep. The pillows were too soft for my liking. My room was on the second floor so could hear a faint rumbling of the metro trains but this was out of the control of the hotel.
