"Super stay for 2 nights. Staff attentive and helpful. If you have issues with stairs, be sure to ask for a room that doesn't require extra stairs even after exiting the elevator/lift. Only down side was the occasional noise ar street level, but that's not the hotel's fault. The closeness to the train station made the area worthwhile."

The only thing we had an issue with was when we checked in the receptionist loudly announced our room number so it was heard by other guests. As two young women, it’s not safe for others to know our room number so we would appreciate if staff were trained to not do this."
