The location of the hotel is very convenient in downtown, the staff was very helpful, although management seems disorganized. The building is historic yet recently updated and comfortable. Our stay was very nice and i would stay there again.

The staff were accommodating, however when the train arrives at 11.30 and the check in time is 4 pm and it is very often wet, it can be a long wait. The room was comfortable even though a bit too warm. The bar and restaurant were very good. Over all a positive and enjoyable stay. Great hot water.

Very nice hotel. The staff was so nice . Good location. The negative was how noisy the rooms could be due to the guests slamming doors. It is an old hotel.
