We only stayed here one night, but the hotel room itself was very great. The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. They had a great kids area where the kids could stay and play and it was a very short walking distance to some great cafés in the morning. We enjoyed their breakfast buffet as well.

Very nice and modern hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming offering a map and suggestions of places to go in the city which i appreciated, all incredibly good value for the money paid. Area around the hotel seems nice and quite upmarket but largely business and office oriented, not much immediately in the vicinity for tourists in terms of a shop or food but all can be found a short walk along the river front where there are lots of very nice bars and restaurants. Also only a very short 15 or so min walk to the centre, cathedral etc. Would recommend and would stay again in future. 5 stars.
