Great stay
Pros:

Lovely comfortable bed and the room was surprisingly quiet despite being right near the station. Breakfast was fantastic. The staff were excellent

Cons:

I wish there had been more choice in the restaurant, rather than just pizza

We like the ambiance and staff but there were some things lacking in convenience in the room.
Pros:

nice staff at the front desk, very good breakfast and dinner, great location, nice area for meeting in the lounge

Limited storage space for clothes, suitcases, and toiletries. The step into the bathroom was challenging -- easy to trip

Distinctly average
Cons:

Staff on arrival. Whilst the woman who checked me in was good, when I had earlier arrived a little ahead of schedule staff member was quite dismissive.

Great weekend getaway
Pros:

Clean and comfortable room. I actually expected some noise from the train station, but the room was completely soundproof. The hotel is also surrounded by cafes, a convenience store and just 1 km away from the city centre.

Cons:

Quite expensive for what it was but a very accessible location for trains and amenities, and very quiet, regardless.
Pros:

Great location and staff. Breakfast had a reasonable selection though despite going early, the eggs were hard and plastic like. However, they did cater for vegetarians. The cafe lounge at reception was lovely.

Cons:

Pillows like bricks. Plastic capsule bathroom. Stained carpet in room. Just needed a bit of an upgrade, really to make it fresher.
