Lovely newly refurbished hotel. We booked a junior suite with breakfast. Our room (110) was situated on a corner with windows overlooking the Central Market Hall on one side and views over the square to Liberty Bridge from the other. The decor is beautiful, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious and well appointed. My only negative about the room is there are no drawers, cupboards etc, so when you unpack everything is on display. It’s just a personal preference for me as I like the room to look tidy. Breakfast is on level -1 and there is lots of choice of continental options and a few hot dishes, the scrambled eggs were especially good. The room was never very busy when we ate, usually around 9am. We felt the hotel was in an excellent location with a number of restaurants in very short walking distance. We had a late flight home and the hotel was able to store our luggage until late afternoon for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

This hotel is perfect for guests who do not use a spa/gym or need a pool or jacuzzi. Excellent rooms, good breakfast service downstairs, and only one person at the front desk. Just good rooms, a front desk, breakfast and nothing more, and all at a good price.

A great place to stay, very clean, helpful staff, very good location with lots of places to eat and drink nearby, But it is not a full service hotel, no restaurant or room service, gym, etc, if that's what you are looking for, we weren't and this was perfect for us.
