Pros:

Close to the tram and buses for getting into the city. Takes about 50 mins to walk. Lots of nice places to eat and drink next to the hotel. Rooms are clean and good size. Good continental breakfast and menu for cooked options. Free parking.

It was perfectly satisfactory.
Pros:

We appreciated that we could opt for a free drink instead of room service - we took advantage of this on 2 days.

Cons:

It was quite dark in the room which didn't matter because very sunny outside, but it might have been a litle dreary in Winter.

Perfect location but disappointed in quality of interior
Pros:

Beautiful building and location

Cons:

Felt the interior needed a bit of an update. The furniture in the room was chipped and needed a touch up and our window looked onto a brick wall
