Nice hotel, centrally located. Breakfast provided a cornucopia of excellent options. Only real downside was street noise from traffic.

Noise from airwent/pipes
Stay ruined for the second time with load banging noises coming from airvent or pipes in the room. Cannot believe that hotel has not fixed this since my last stay, which was months ago. Staff confirmed to me that multiple guests have complained about those noises as well. Impossible to get any sleep. To bad that this brings down the overall rating when room, restaurant and are otherwise very good.

Friendly, helpful staff, very comfortable room beds etc. ( and even a kettle!) A really excellent breakfast buffet with lots of choice and even a " make your own waffles" area . Very good location and a lovely modern, spacious interior.
Would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends.
