The rooms were spacious. The beds were so comfortable. Even the Fulton bed was so comfortable but was by the window and a bit noisy. Very clean and great service. We had a great stay.
The Fulton bed was next to the window and a bit noisy. You could hear People chatting and traffic passing by at night.

The staff was extremely helpful and polite, room was clean and great size, location was excellent.
The wifi was somewhat sparse, not all sites would load; a little bit of a struggle if needed for work.

Excellent hotel in a pleasant and calm environment. Professionally run with friendly and efficient staff. Good breakfast and excellent, if limited, menu in the Brasserie and bar.
Limited range of snacks and small plates in the bar could be improved. The lift was out of order when we arrived, which wasn't mentioned at booking or on their confirmation emails.

It was all excellent the only thing I didn't like was the lounge music. Lounge versions of modern songs are awful. This was the only reason I could not eat in your restaurant. I think you'd be better off with some nameless jazz instead.

I liked everything in this hotel - place, room and kind staff. The room was an amazing for one person. A location is so quiet.

Clean, functional, good bathroom, great location for us. Excellent customer service and friendly staff
Funny smell in corridor, but may have been another guest eating in their room! Difficult to find - not clear that it is located on the Uni campus Door cards were a bit unreliable
