Location was great. No mini fridge in room. Loud street if that’s something that concerns you. Have luggage storage but process is a joke. Has multiple staff members just hanging out in the lobby, only one person helping luggage storage. Waited 15 minutes just to get no where.

Excellent Staff and Clean Facilities

We were very satisfied with our experience. It is a very large hotel so there's quite a bit of activity, but there was plenty of staff and every one we engaged with was friendly and helpful. As we were traveling from the US and were leaving for France next, we booked it for convenience to the international train, and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the accommodation.

At breakfast, we were allocated a table and reserve put on it, we fetched teas/coffee and cutlery then went to get hot food. As we got back to ‘our’ table the full cups of tea/coffee and cutlery had been removed and someone else was about to be given the table! Very poor management and allocation of tables!
