Great location - in the centre of everything...and the bed was super comfy. My only negatives would be no robes and a miniscule in-room safe, which barely fit my iPad mini (standing on its side as it was slightly too wide and wouldn't allow the safe to lock), passport and a few smaller items. I resorted to locking my laptop in my suitcase when going out, which obviously is not as secure, and may be annoying for business travellers. Otherwise, everything was great.

I liked that this property was close to the city center, safe quiet for being in a large city. The staff let us check into our room at 10 in the morning which was so nice after our long travels. The breakfast was really good.

This property sits in such a nice place close to the Parliament and central to the city. That made it very easy to catch transportation wherever you wanted to go. We were given a street side room and although there was a lot happening all hours of day - it was quiet in room. The breakfast was very nice, and the staff was so pleasant to work with. We arrived early hoping we could leave our luggage and come back, and they were able to give us our room. We would certainly return.
