Lovely hotel - Brasserie just...
Liked: Beautiful place. Lovely welcome. Room was spacious, modern and spotless. Bathroom appeared recently updated and was excellent. Lovely little touches like a little bottle of milk in the fridge, plenty of coffee capsules for the coffee machine and a large bottle of water.
Disliked: Difficult to find. Unfortunately, the signs to the hotel were not well lit - or not lit at all. Not helpful when you arrive in the dark. The room was very warm; there is a fan but this did make a funny noise when on the higher setting. Also, I did not enjoy the brasserie at all. After reading other reviews, maybe it was just a one off? The soup and the gnocchi were both quite bland. I left 3/4 of the dish. The young waitress just took it away - no question on why I left so much. I did mention it was 'just 'ok' upon paying the bill; and again, nothing was said. The service wasn't great. From the way the head waiter spoke to some of the younger staff, I am not sure if they are in training or apprentices but for me, it was not an enjoyable experience.

Comfortable enough. Well located for...
Liked: Comfortable enough hotel
Disliked: The staff were helpful, but there were a couple of issues, such as ordering a coffee (which was initially forgotten about and had to be chased) and then, on thinking the coffee tasted a bit strange, finding a teabag in the coffee pot along with the coffee itself! The main (older) building is in need of a bit of decoration.

Disliked: Breakfast was at an acceptable quality level - there could have been a slightly wider choice on cold foods.My suite was a good size, but the bathroom was a bit chilly.
