Very convenient
Hotel is conveniently situated for transport, shops and restaurants which are all on its door step. Staff are helpful and friendly. We slept very well eventhough our room was overlooking the street. Overall a very good experience.

This property had rather poor internet service. The staff was very helpful in “resetting” the system but the service was no better. Another hotel guest had similar complaints confirming that it wasn’t my devices. Difficult for tourists and business guests.
