Delightful and quaint hotel. It is a short walk from the station but you have to cross over several roads. It is pain when it rains and exiting from entrance 5 from the station means walking up a long flight of stairs. Not fun if you have alot of luggage but it's nothing a cab ride can't resolve! The bus stop is nearby and everywhere is a short hop on the bus once you figure out the routes.
Hotel is clean and service is attentive. There is always someone at the counter who'd jump out to open the main door for you (they don't have a dedicated doorman). Breakfast that many previous guests highlighted was really nice - they let you choose the cereal, cold cuts, cheese, breads and pastries, and main course the night before from an online menu and your choices are presented to you at breakfast. The breakfast was good - they even offered sparkling wine - but it was quite a struggle to eat breakfast like that every day over the period of our stay (after our first day). Unlike the run of the mill buffet that, where you can always cut down on the amount you choose to eat day to day, the breakfast served here is fixed. Would definitely suggest you choose to eat at least one breakfast at the hotel or even go for lunch / dinner at their restaurant for the experience. Quality of food is good.
We got a full bottle of wine with our room and you can enjoy more wine every evening with the bottles they generously place in bar area in front of the lifts on every floor. The hotel has a tie up with several wineries hence the wines available for happy hour.
The rooms are clean and they have lots of variety of snacks available at the lift lobby bar area together with your choice of hot beverages. We enjoyed our stay. 😊
