We only stayed here one night, but the hotel room itself was very great. The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. They had a great kids area where the kids could stay and play and it was a very short walking distance to some great cafés in the morning. We enjoyed their breakfast buffet as well.

A good hotel in a good location
I was very happy with my stay in this hotel. I would happily stay here again. The only small complaint I would have is that the bed was quite soft.
