Great location by the Square so able to walk everywhere. Close to many eateries, a movie theatre, bus terminal and shopping areas. View was over the street but the hotel was quiet and modern. Large bedroom area and shower but a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Helpful staff. Had a huge breakfast there one morning.

An excellent location, right in the heart. The only negative is that the property is very austere in its design and decoration. Isla in the restaurant at breakfast was excellent.

We were travelling the next morning on the intercity bus so this hotel was very convenient. A short walk with luggage to the bus stop. The only disappointment was the service in the rooftop cafe in the morning. We had a tight timeline for the bus the next morning so we had to leave without coffee because she didn’t want to serve us till she had washed all the tables-not cool!
