The location, room, and other facilities, especially the bar are all top level. I will definitely stay here again. Clean, quiet and in a great location right downtown.
Nothing. Everything was excellent.

Spacious rooms, clean through the entire building. Felt super luxury.
I don’t believe they have their own parking so you’ll have to park in nearby garages

Amazing view. Comfortable bedding. Excellent shower. Mini-fridge. Top notch climate control system. I adored the wide hallways and the stairways. Very very quiet, and great blackout curtains made for really restful sleep. The divan was divine.
Very limited room service options. The chair was a bit low for the desk for be, but sitting on a pillow made it workable.

The location is quite convenient. Room is spacious and in general comfortable to stay.
The price on booking.com and the actual price are different. There’s mandatory tax and fees so if you want to book through the website, please be aware of that.

Absolutely loved the hotel - beautiful rooms and facilities, excellent location. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Was a bit frustrating that the cocktail bar was booked for private event one evening so was not accessible (and I booked hotel for this).. also the wi-fi was down for an upgrade (although a facilities man helped me get the TV working on the second night) and there was also no room service.. I think I just happened to stay in the wrong week. I wasn't that impressed with the breakfast facilities - it's basically a cafe linked to the street so the queue in the morning was awful

The location of the hotel was great, and the room was clean. The staff were friendly and polite, which we really appreciated.
we were disappointed with the noise levels. Our room had an interconnecting door, and the guests next door were extremely loud, which made it very difficult for us to sleep. This was quite unpleasant and really affected our stay, considering the high price we paid for a stay that wasn’t peaceful.

They were able to accommodate an early check-in. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was an ideal location, close to attractions, shopping and public transportation.
