All the staff were warm, pleasant and efficient. We had an issue with a noisy neighbour room and it was dealt with immediately, and with a follow-up. A Nespresso coffee maker was offered and delivered to the room when we saw those pods in the housekeeping trolley. Breakfast was good, usual fare for a 4 star hotel, and many options.

Room was nicely decorated, quite small not much room around the bed. There was a chair which made it difficult to maneuver around the one side of the bed. Bathroom clean & nice toiletries. Room was hot a/c didn’t seem to work. Bar & Bistro areas were lovely. Location great for walking around the city or getting to the station.
