The rooms are widely described as very clean and comfortable, with tasteful, modern decor. Guests report that there are many English channels on the flat-screen television, the Wi-Fi is fast and stable, and the windows effectively seal out any noise from the nearby train station.
Few guests fail to mention the hotel's proximity to the train station, a great plus for many travellers. Many also note that it is a 15-minute walk into the city centre, and up to 30 minutes at a more leisurely pace. The terrain is fairly flat and there are some nice bistros along the way.
Many guests have described the hotel's front desk staff as polite, helpful, and accommodating. Hungry travellers also give the breakfast high marks for variety and presentation, and note the breakfast room staff are also very professional.
Several guests have described the immediate neighbourhood as "shady", "seedy", or "rough", and a few have reported unpleasant encounters with local individuals. It also seems to be best to pay for indoor parking, as a few who have risked the free outdoor parking have regretted it.
Some guests have been disappointed to find the hotel's lunch and dinner offerings quite a bit lighter than the breakfast buffet which, though hearty and varied, is widely considered a little pricey.
A few guests have noted that the shower floor has a bit of a slope and the bathroom floor isn't entirely shielded from the spray; both surfaces can get quite slippery. A few guests have found the spa area in need of better maintenance.
