Centrally located mid range hotel. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Room I stayed faced an office block, which was ok as I spent most of my time in the city not in the room. Very convenient location to access rail and coach services across the country.

We arrived by train around 1:30am, the hotel entrance is just outside of the main station entrance, very convenient. The desk staff was ready and checked us in very quickly. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was nice, good selections and was happy to see iced coffee. Check out was a breeze and we were off to explore before taking the train back to the airport.

Everything is clean and brand new. Comfortable and efficient. Takes 1 minute to get to the P-train for the airport. Breakfast was OK, nothing exceptional. Bar wasn't really a bar, just an extension of the check in desk, and not used much when i stayed (i don't recall anyone having a wine or beer the whole time).

Perfect location! The hotel was 2 minutes away from the train station but not noisy. Beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. And the breakfast had lots of variety.
