the hotel has a great central location close to landmarks. the staff was professional and helpful, even providing a travel cot for my little one. the room i stayed in was quiet and clean, exactly what i needed for a good night's sleep.
My room didn't have a telephone. I had to scan a barcode to reach reception, this felt slightly inconvenient!
