Luxury’s
Pros:

Old but beautiful, luxurious & comfortable. Loved the multiple areas of seating downstairs. Staff very professional. Felt like a safe haven in a city that felt rather unsafe in some areas

Cons:

The rooms could do with a bit of a make over, but still comfortable

Good value
Pros:

Nice staff, clean rooms and great location to catch the train.

Cons:

Breakfast was decent, but the coffee was subpar. The bar area was nice and big but they did not serve cocktail food which would of been convenient. Overall a very nice hotel and I would stay there again.
