Nice hotel with luxurious feel.

Liked: Former university department that was reinvented as a hotel. It has luxurious feel and definite character. Lobby with many books and available wide selections of teas and coffee is inviting. Room was spacious but layout shows that it was not designed as a hotel. But overall excellent experience.
Disliked: There is no pool and gym is dismal.

Good

Liked: Cute hotel with comfortable bed and brilliant location for walking directly by the river into the city.
Disliked: Overpriced for what it is and parking was slightly problematic with us turning up and no spaces available. Do think the photos of the rooms make them look bigger than in reality.
