Grundsätzlich okay mit Verbesserungspotential :-)
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt - in Geh-Nähe City-Center und Pubs - auch die Hop-On-Hop-Off Busse nicht weit - Taxi zum City Airport schnell.
Zimmer mit Wasserkocher ausgestattet und Instant-Kaffee.
Bügelbrett und Bügeleisen; und nach ein bißchen Suchen auch den Haartrockner/Fön gefunden ;-)

Cons:

um mit dem Slogan "Service is our Success" mitzuhalten, sollte das Personal geschult werden: fachlich, so wie in Freundlichkeit. Aufmerksam und zuvorkommend stelle ich mir anders vor.
Am Frühstücksbuffet haben jeden Morgen die Schüsseln für Müsli und Früchte gefehlt, jeder Kaffee-Löffel oder Eier-Löffel musste gezielt und einzeln "angefordert" werden. Ein Lächeln der Servier-Kräfte würde das Ganze dann auch noch einfacher machen.
Ein junger Abend-Portier, der mit der einen Hand im Hosensack, versucht ein Taxi für uns für den nächsten Tag zu buchen, und aufgrund von Unaufmerksamkeit 3x nachfragen muss, wegen Uhrzeit und Ziel-Destination.
Ein für den letzten "sehr frühen" Morgen versprochenes Frühstückspaket, musste dann doch noch kurz über knapp erst hergerichtet werden.

Auf der anderen Seite hatten wir, im Laufe unseres Aufenthalts, aber auch 2 freundliche Rezeptionisten und auch einen sehr netten und lustigen Abend-Kellner.
Irgendwie schade, hier ist wirklich noch Verbesserungspotential.

Great location
Pros:

The hotes is situated in a great location, room was spacious and very clean, beds are comfortable. Easy to get to the tourist attractions by foot. Few bus stops nearby too, so we were happy with the hotel choice.

Cons:

Slightly confusing directions for the shower, took us time to understand how to make the shower hot.

Very comfortable and would stay again if given the opportunity.
Pros:

Beds were very comfortable,
Room was spacious.
We didn't meet our maid, but the other maid on the floor was incredible!!!
Location was great!

Cons:

The room was too warm. Changing the thermostat didn't help.
Breakfast was good, but after the 3rd day, it got a little boring, plus very little selection.
We didn't realize until after breakfast on our last day, that we could have ordered other items that wasn't in the buffet, like poached, or over easy eggs.

Would stay again - despite a few little hiccups
Pros:

The location is absolutely perfect. Very easy to get around. Nice breakfast. Lovely restaurant/bar. Very spacious. Large rooms. Pleasant, helpful staff.

Cons:

I was not particularly impressed that my room was not made up at all one day and only half touched on another two days. Milk for tea making was not replaced, towels not refreshed, bed not made.
Also during breakfast glasses, cups, pastries, cheese etc were not replenished regularly. We often had to ask.
