Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself is fabulous, rooms and beds very comfortable and spotless. Unfortunately I've marked you down because the staff weren't very accommodating with us leaving our rental car - we only wanted to leave it until 12.30 (ie before new guests check in) but were told this isn't possible, which is disappointing given wed paid 35$ to park.

Debbie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Great central location right next to the tram station and two theatres! The room was clean, comfortable and modern. Bathroom was very well appointed and the shower was roomy with great soft water and good pressure. Unfortunately our request for a room high up with a view was not granted, so we looked against a big plain wall of the next building. Otherwise we would stay again.
Edel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff were unhelpful, disinterested and not polite. Seemed to be lots of guests with complaints.
