Enjoyed our stay. The room was clean although we had a disabled suite, which meant the shower was too low and as a result flooded the bathroom. Overall it was very good though and we would happily stay again.

I love the lobby area and the beautiful cafe. The grand staircase is also great! The room is just standard considering the lobby and the building is so pretty. I love the bathroom tho. Plus point is the spa downstairs although the changing room is quite dirty.
