Room clean but dated, no walk in shower you need to climb in the bath. No individual toiletries, .Breakfast buffet reasonable. Restaurant/cafeteria are very good and food is reasonably priced. Parking is underground using a car lift. Very handy location for shops and bars lots nearby. Reception staff could be a little more friendly perhaps but no big deal.

Big hotel with an excellent location. We had a spacious room with a beautiful view of the cathedral.
Something we really appreciated was the breakfast room and breakfast. It was a relaxing experience and the view from the breakfast room was nice. And of course, we appreciated the collection of food.
