Good value, quiet hotel, nice staff and breakfast
Pros:

Great value for the money. We moved from a different hotel that was more expensive and worse. Happy to have AC, quiet nice hotel with good breakfast and walkable location.

Cons:

Unfortunately the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable. The bed in the family room was a full, wish it was a queen.

Stylish little stay in a great location.
Pros:

Friendly staff and easy check in. Security on the lifts and extra locks on the room door made me feel super safe (even though the area is fine!) The decor is stylish and clean. Looked pretty new too. Blackout curtains in the room were great for the morning sunlight. The coffee bar and separate actual bar were good with decent, simple food choices at reasonable prices considering the location.

Cons:

The walls are really thin so you can hear what's going on with your neighbours on either side and above you. Thank goodness I brought my earplugs.
