4 out of 5
The hotel was very nice, but I found the rooms very warm. The temperature control wouldn't go lower than 19°c or 66° F. Also, the front desk staff were not as clear on their directions when asked. The housekeeping staff was GREAT. The dining area was very pricey, so we didn't eat there. It was very convenient to the train station and one of the main transport trams into the main area.
