The location was exceptional for everything we had planned and despite being located next Waverley railway station we never heard a train. Our room on the 5th floor (recommended by the receptionist) was well worth its executive status with a great view of the city

Staff was amazing ..perfect location and was clean! Only this I didn’t care for was the shower as it had no full shower door to slide close so the floor would get wet while I shower but I think this is a common design in a lot of European hotels …still 5 stars!
